UP advocate pleading sister's divorce case kidnapped, killed; Brother-in-law arrested
Basti: A 50-year-old advocate, Chandrashekhar Yadav, was allegedly kidnapped, assaulted, and crushed to death using a vehicle in Basti district, police reported on Sunday. Yadav was representing his sister in her divorce case.
According to officials, Yadav was abducted on Saturday while returning home on his bike from a 'Thana Samadhan Diwas' event in Kaptanganj. The accused intercepted him near Narayanpur village in a Scorpio vehicle.
Superintendent of Police Abhinandan stated that the advocate’s estranged brother-in-law, Ranjeet Yadav, and his brother Sandeep Yadav, orchestrated the crime due to a financial dispute in the divorce settlement. After assaulting the advocate, they threw him onto the road in Walterganj and ran over him before fleeing the scene.
Ranjeet Yadav, the primary accused, has been arrested, and efforts are underway to apprehend other suspects. The incident prompted protests by local advocates demanding immediate justice.
In another incident in Basti, Sub-Inspector Hari Narayan Mishra, 57, died, and Head Constable Ram Kumar Dubey sustained injuries after their car collided with a stationary truck on the Harraiya-Babhanan road on January 18. Mishra was travelling to the Pakolia police station when the accident occurred.
Police investigations are ongoing in both cases.
