Shivpuri Horror: House Torched, Shop Fired Upon in Brutal Rivalry Attack
A violent clash over an old rivalry in Shivpuri left two women injured and a house ablaze. The family is now demanding immediate police action.
A long-standing rivalry turned deadly in the Raja ki Mudhairi village of Shivpuri district, where a family was targeted in a coordinated attack that left their home in flames and their shop riddled with gunfire. The brutal assault, which took place under the jurisdiction of the Sirsaud police station, has left the community shaken and the victims pleading for justice.
Night of Terror in Raja ki Mudhairi
The violence erupted on the night of October 18. According to the complainant, Sitaram Kushwaha, the attackers first targeted the family's livelihood by opening fire on their shop. The aggression did not stop there; the assailants then turned their attention to the family's residence, setting the house (pataur) on fire, resulting in extensive property damage.
Women Assaulted and Maimed
As the fire raged and the chaos unfolded, the women of the household attempted to intervene and stop the destruction. However, they were met with extreme violence. The perpetrators allegedly attacked the women using axes and wooden sticks.
The assault left two women injured. In a particularly gruesome turn of events, one of the victims suffered the loss of a finger during the attack. Due to the severity of her injuries, she has been admitted to the local medical college for urgent treatment.
Victims Demand Justice
Despite the gravity of the crime and the registration of a First Information Report (FIR), the family claims that the police have failed to take any concrete action. The victims expressed their frustration over the fact that no arrests have been made since the incident occurred.
Driven by a lack of progress in the investigation, the family marched to the office of the Superintendent of Police at approximately 1:00 PM. They have issued a desperate plea for:
- The immediate arrest of all accused individuals.
- Swift police action against the perpetrators.
- Dedicated security to protect them from further attacks.
