The Crime That Shook Rahimpur
The incident dates back to July 4, 2015, in Rahimpur village, within the jurisdiction of the Kothi police station. The legal battle began when Veenu, the wife of Gangaram, filed a formal complaint alleging that an attack had been carried out with the clear intent to kill her husband.
Following the complaint, the police registered the case under Crime Number 101/2015. At the time, Sub-Inspector Sanjeev Kumar Singh served as the investigating officer, who meticulously gathered evidence and filed a charge sheet against the accused, Nand Kishore.
