Kanpur I saw a scene that shook the entire city. A eccentric mood young man killed his own mother with a knife and was planning to kill her sister. This incident is not only surprising, but also raises the question that how can such hatred be flourished within a family?
What happened?
On Wednesday morning, when people were busy with their daily work, a dreadful incident took place in the Refugee Colony. A youth named Raja Singh, an active BJP worker and convenor of Piranpur Shakti Kendra, entered his own house and attacked his mother Pramila Singh with a knife. The mother was undergoing treatment at the sister’s house at that time. After the attack, the king called the police and gave a conflict of his crime himself, “Sir, we have killed the mother, now save him.”
Why this heinous act happened?
Raja Singh’s neighbors and acquaintances say he was mentally unstable and was undergoing treatment. He used to lose his temper when he did not take medicines. He had a love affair with a young woman, who had pressurized her to get married and the house banned. When the king’s sister opposed the relationship, the woman started threatening to implicate her and her family in the rape case.
The killer was traveling around police and leaders
Prior to the murder, the king had been traveling around the house of Kotwali, outpost and BJP leaders for three days. He was insisting on getting everyone a house in his name and getting married. Outpost in -charge Anuj Yadav told that the king had come to the outpost in the evening and was talking about marriage. She was explained that after the arrival of the mother, there would be a conversation between the family, but she came in her craze and took this terrible step.
Painful history of family
Raja Singh’s family had been living in the Refugee Colony for many years. His younger brother Rahul died in a road accident in 2022. Father Dharmendra Singh had also died during the Korona period. The king was the only son of the family, but his mental conditions turned him into a killer.
Record has been violent earlier also
The king’s eccentric mood has been discussed earlier. A few days ago, a companion was attacked with a hammer in the Shiva temple, which was stopped by the people by intervening. People used to stay away from him due to his violent tendency.
What is police action now?
After the incident, the Kotwali police have started investigating the case. The killer is still absconding, but the police say he will be arrested soon. Sections have been added to the case and strict action will be taken against the king.
A question for society
This incident is not only a family tragedy, but also raises the question in front of the society whether the tendency to ignore mental health issues is giving rise to such accidents? Should administration and society come forward to help such youth?
The murder of Kanpur tells a scary truth, where family dispute and mental imbalance made a young man a killer. Now the question is whether any concrete steps will be taken to prevent such incidents?
