UP: BJP worker kills his 3 children leaves wife injured as he suspects her of extramarital affair
Saharanpur (UP), Mar 22 (PTI): In a case of familicide, a BJP worker here on Saturday allegedly shot dead his three children with his licensed revolver and left his wife injured as he suspected her of an extramarital affair, police said.
The incident took place in Sagatheda village when Rohilla informed police that he had shot his family, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Rohit Sajwan said.
Upon reaching the spot, Rohilla told police that he had been mentally disturbed for a while as he suspected his wife of having an extramarital affair, the SSP said.
His daughter Shraddha (12) and son Devansh (5) died on the spot, while his wife Neha (36) and son Shivansh (7) were critically injured and rushed to a hospital, the officer said.
Later, Shivansh died at the hospital during treatment and Neha was referred to a medical college for treatment, he said.
A forensic team has examined the scene, and the bodies have been sent for postmortem. An investigation is underway, Sajwan said.
Meanwhile, BJP MLA from Gangoh assembly constituency, Kirat Singh told PTI, "I don't know what triggered the incident. It is painful."
When asked whether Rohilla was holding any party post, Singh said that he was a BJP worker, but the question here is not whether the accused belongs to the BJP or any other political party, this incident is inhumane.

Trump’s fresh threat to bomb Iran amid reports of deal to end war
Washington (PTI): US President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened Iran with more bombing if it doesn't reopen the Strait of Hormuz, amid a report that the warring sides were nearing an agreement to end the war.
US media outlet Axios reported, quoting US officials and two other sources, that the US and Iran were getting close to a one-page memorandum of understanding to end the war and set a framework for more detailed nuclear negotiations.
The US expects Iranian responses on several key points over the next 48 hours, Axios reported, adding that nothing has been agreed yet. This was the closest the parties had been to an agreement since the war began.
"Assuming Iran agrees to give what has been agreed to, which is, perhaps, a big assumption, the already legendary Epic Fury will be at an end, and the highly effective Blockade will allow the Hormuz Strait to be OPEN TO ALL, including Iran," Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
"If they don’t agree, the bombing starts, and it will be, sadly, at a much higher level and intensity than it was before," Trump said.
According to Axios, the deal would involve Iran committing to a moratorium on nuclear enrichment, the US agreeing to lift its sanctions and release billions in frozen Iranian funds, and both sides lifting restrictions around transit through the Strait of Hormuz.
It said many of the terms laid out in the memo would be contingent on a final agreement being reached, leaving the possibility of renewed war or an extended limbo in which the hot war has stopped, but nothing is truly resolved.
