Banda Child Deaths: Woman Demands Narco Tests for Father-in-Law and Complainant
A daughter-in-law in Banda demands narco-analysis tests for her father-in-law and the complainant in a shocking child deaths case.

A shocking turn of events has unfolded in the investigation into the deaths of two minor children in the Nandwara village of Banda, Uttar Pradesh. In a surprising move, Komal Singh, the daughter-in-law of the primary accused, has approached the Superintendent of Police demanding narco-analysis and lie detector tests to uncover the truth behind the tragedy.
The Tragedy at Nandwara Village
The case dates back to the night of September 30, 2026, when the peaceful atmosphere of Nandwara village, falling under the jurisdiction of the Naraini Kotwali police station, was shattered. Two young children were discovered dead in a water-filled pit, sparking outrage and a subsequent police investigation.
Following the incident, an FIR (number 0271/2026) was registered, naming Mahendra Pal Verma as a key figure in the case. However, his daughter-in-law, Komal Singh, is now challenging the narrative surrounding the deaths.
Allegations of Political Vendetta
Komal Singh has formally alleged that Mahendra Pal Verma is a victim of a conspiracy. According to her application to the Superintendent of Police, her father-in-law has been falsely implicated due to long-standing personal animosities and bitter political rivalries. She specifically pointed toward tensions stemming from the village head (Pradhan) elections as the motive behind the false accusations.
Singh maintains that Mahendra Pal Verma is entirely innocent and had no role in the deaths of the two children.
The Demand for Scientific Testing
To prove the innocence of her father-in-law and expose the real culprits, Komal Singh has requested that the authorities conduct narco-analysis and lie detector tests on two specific individuals:
- Mahendra Pal Verma: The accused father-in-law.
- Bhaiyaram Rajput: The individual who filed the complaint.
She believes that subjecting both the accused and the complainant to these tests will reveal the inconsistencies in the claims and bring the actual facts to light.
Call for CBI Probe and Legal Relief
The application further highlights that Mahendra Pal Verma has not been hiding from the law; instead, he has been consistently advocating for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the matter since the day of the incident. Singh has urged the police to ensure an impartial investigation and has requested that her father-in-law be granted relief from arrest.
While these claims have added a new layer of complexity to the case, the police have yet to verify the allegations. The investigation continues as authorities weigh the request for scientific testing in this sensitive case.
