UP shocker: Mother hires hitman to kill teen daughter but ends up dead
Agra: In a shocking incident from Uttar Pradesh, a 35-year-old woman hired a hitman for ₹50,000 to kill her teenage daughter but ended up being murdered herself. The body of the woman, identified as Alka, was discovered in a field near the Jasrathpur police station in Etah district on October 6.
According to reports, Alka was reportedly "fed up with the teen's behaviour" and engaged a 38-year-old man, Subhash Singh, for the job, unaware that he was actually her daughter’s lover. The Times of India reported that Alka's daughter had eloped with a young man from their area a few months prior, after which Alka sent her to her maternal home in Farrukhabad.
While staying there, the daughter developed a relationship with Subhash, communicating with him for long hours over the phone. Concerned about the calls, her uncle urged Alka to bring her daughter back home. This situation aggravated Alka, leading her to make the fateful decision to have her daughter killed.
On September 27, Alka contacted Subhash and allegedly offered him ₹50,000 to carry out the murder. In a twist of fate, Subhash informed Alka's daughter of the plan. In exchange for killing her mother, the teenager promised to marry him.
During police interrogations, both Subhash and Alka's daughter confessed to their roles in the crime. They were arrested on Wednesday night, and the investigation is ongoing.
