PRAYAGRAJ, March 8 -- A man from Tewan village in the Manjhanpur Kotwali area of Kaushambi has accused his daughter's in-laws of murdering her and disposing of her body after she went missing under suspicious circumstances. Alleging a lack of cooperation from the police, he approached the Superintendent of Police on Saturday seeking justice. Sharda Prasad Mishra said his daughter Ankita, married in 2016, went missing from her in-laws' house on January 21, 2026. He alleged that, instead of informing the family, his son-in-law lodged a missing person report the next day, claiming she had left with her mobile phone. Mishra alleged police failed to track his missing daughter's phone or question suspects, claiming she was murdered and her body hidden. SHO Mahewaghat police station Dhirendra Singh said the matter is under investigation and expressed confidence that the woman will be recovered soon. The court of Additional Sessions Judge (Special Judge, SC/ST), Hemant Kumar, sentenced two brothers, Sanjay Tiwari and Sangamlal Tiwari of Pathak-Ka-Purwa in Udaipur, to life imprisonment for the murder of a Scheduled Caste man. The court also imposed a fine of Rs 50,000 on each of them. Parvati Saroj of Purva Gutuk village said her husband Ramlal was found dead at their tubewell house on May 19, 1999. A postmortem confirmed death by strangulation. During the investigation, police filed a chargesheet against Ramsevak Tiwari, Sanjay Tiwari and Sangamlal Tiwari. The trial continued for several years, during which accused Ramsevak Tiwari passed away. Women from Shivbanshi-Ka-Pura in Ramnagar created a major uproar at the tehsil on Saturday afternoon, blocking the way of Prayagraj DM Manish Kumar Verma as they demanded immediate action to remove an alleged illegal encroachment on a government road leading to their homes. The incident took place around 1.30 pm when the DM and Deputy Commissioner of Police Vivek Chandra stepped out of the tehsil auditorium. The women, along with several men from the locality, surrounded the DM and complained that despite repeated appeals, authorities had failed to act against a man from Pasiyan Basti who had occupied the road. The DM sought details from SDM Surendra Pratap Yadav and revenue officials, who informed him that the accused had set up a restaurant at the site and that a hearing on the matter was already scheduled in the coming days. htc...
