PRAYAGRAJ, Jan. 1 -- Police on Wednesday morning arrested a man accused of shooting his mother-in-law to death five days ago, near Bakshi Modha Bridge. The firearm used in the murder was also recovered, officials said. During interrogation, the accused Irfan confessed to the crime, claiming he acted after his wife refused to return to their matrimonial home from her parental house. After completing legal formalities, he was sent to jail. According to Kareli police, on December 26, Aashiya Khatoon, 55, was shot dead by her son-in-law, Irfan, a resident of Pura Manohardas Akbarpur, following a family dispute. The victim's son, Irshad, lodged a complaint, and a murder case was registered against Irfan. Irfan's wife, Chand Bibi, alleged that her husband wanted her to engage in wrongful acts, which prompted her to stay at her parental home with their children. Police launched a manhunt for Irfan and, acting on a tip-off, station house officer Ashish Singh apprehended him near Bakshi Modha Bridge on Wednesday morning. Irfan revealed that he had taken shelter with relatives after the murder and was planning to flee to Delhi, the SHO said. He also told police that Chand Bibi, on her mother Aashiya Khatoon's instructions, had filed a dowry harassment case against him in 2020. Claiming that his wife was being influenced by her mother and prevented from returning to her marital home, Irfan admitted that the family dispute led him to commit the murder, police added....
