Residents of Mauja Amraiya village in the Kanth area of Moradabad were left reeling following a brutal double murder that took place inside a local household. A 23-year-old woman, identified as Komal, stands accused of murdering her own mother and younger brother during a violent outburst inside their home.
A Fatal Confrontation Over Domestic Disputes
The victims, identified as 45-year-old Shanti Devi and her 18-year-old son Pranshu, were reportedly attacked with a heavy iron rod. Evidence from the scene suggests the assault was sudden and extremely violent. According to preliminary police investigations, the motive appears to be rooted in long-standing domestic friction and disagreements over personal life choices.
Local sources indicate that tension had been brewing within the family for some time. Initial reports suggest that Komal felt restricted or pressured by her mother and brother regarding certain lifestyle decisions. On the day of the incident, a heated argument escalated past the point of return, leading the suspect to seize an iron rod and strike both victims repeatedly.
Police Investigation and Arrest
Upon receiving notification of the incident, senior police officials, including the Superintendent of Police (Rural), rushed to the site with forensic teams. The bodies were recovered and sent for post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death and the severity of the injuries sustained.
Moradabad police confirmed that Komal has been taken into custody. “The suspect has been apprehended and is currently being interrogated. We are looking into the specific triggers that led to such a heinous act. A case has been registered under the relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code,” stated an official familiar with the investigation.
Community in Shock
The double homicide has sent shockwaves through the quiet village of Mauja Amraiya. Neighbors described the family as relatively private, though they noted occasional sounds of discord emerging from the house recently. The brutality of the crime—a daughter allegedly killing her own immediate kin—has left the local population in disbelief as the legal process against the accused begins.
