UP Lawyer Masterminds Parents' Murder by Sons
In a small village in Uttar Pradesh, India, a lawyer named Prabhakar Tripathi tricked an old couple into giving him their shops.
When the couple tried to get their shops back through the courts, the lawyer got into trouble.
To avoid getting caught, he made a plan with the couple's three sons.
He promised them money and gifts if they killed their own parents.
The sons agreed and strangled their parents while they were sleeping.
The police found out about the plan and arrested all four people involved.
The lawyer already had a case of cheating against him, and one of the sons had a case of assault.
A lawyer, Prabhakar Tripathi, allegedly masterminded the murder of an elderly couple, Roshan Khan and Waseela, to evade legal action after fraudulently acquiring their shops.
Tripathi lured the couple's three sons—Haseeb Khan, Naseeb Khan, and Musib Khan—into killing their parents by promising them gifts and cash.
The sons confessed to strangling their parents with a bamboo stick while they were asleep on the night of November 22-23.
The police arrested all four accused and sent them to jail. The case was registered on November 23.
Tripathi already faces a cheating case, and Haseeb Khan has a case of assault registered against him.
