Mirzapur: Family Alleges Murder After Man Found Hanging
Mirzapur family alleges Shivam was murdered by a woman and her relatives, then staged as a suicide. They seek justice from the SP.
A grieving family in the Santnagar police station area of Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh, has leveled serious allegations of murder against a young woman and her relatives. They claim their son, Shivam, was killed and his death was subsequently staged to look like a suicide.
A Relationship Turned Fatal
The victim's father, Vishwambhar Kumar, has provided a chilling account of the events leading up to the tragedy. According to the family, Shivam was involved in a romantic relationship with a local woman known as Baby, also referred to as Babita. The relationship reportedly soured when Shivam refused to marry the woman, a decision that allegedly led to death threats from Baby's relatives.
The situation escalated on September 6, 2024, when the woman's family allegedly summoned Shivam to Deepnagar. When he failed to return home that night, his family launched a desperate search.
Chilling Phone Call and Discovery
The family's fears were confirmed through a disturbing phone call. At approximately 10:08 p.m., Baby reportedly called the family to state that Shivam would not be returning. In a haunting warning, she allegedly told them to forget him and claimed they would only see his dead face.
Shortly after this call, a local villager alerted the family that Shivam's body had been discovered hanging from a tree.
Evidence of Foul Play Alleged
The family has raised several points to support their claim of murder over suicide:
- Bound Hands: The family pointed out that Shivam's hands were tied, making it physically impossible for him to have committed suicide.
- Missing Evidence: Shivam's multimedia mobile phone, which the family believes contains crucial evidence regarding his relationship and the threats received, is missing.
- Questionable Police Conduct: The family has expressed deep dissatisfaction with the local police investigation. They allege that officers failed to bring a forensic team to the scene and acted with undue haste by removing the body from the tree for post-mortem examination.
Following a lack of progress from the local police station, the father has officially appealed to the Superintendent of Police (SP) to intervene and ensure justice for his son.
