KANPUR, Nov. 17 -- A sub-inspector of UP Police, Ankit Yadav, was on Sunday arrested from Mahoba in connection with the murder of a 30-year-old woman Kiran whose body was found on Baswari road in Hamirpur district's Maudaha on November 13. Confirming the arrest, Hamirpur superintendent of police Diksha Sharma said the accused S-I, currently posted in Mahoba, had been sent to jail and that further evidence was being gathered. The victim's family has levelled serious allegations against Yadav-who was investigating a dowry case filed by Kiran-and her estranged husband CRPF constable Vinod Kumar, accusing both of conspiring to kill her. According to the SP, Kiran and Yadav became close during the investigation of her case. Preliminary inquiry suggests the murder was committed after an altercation during an outing, during which Yadav allegedly struck her with an iron rod. The weapon had been recovered, police said. Kiran's brother said her marriage to Vinod Kumar on February 22, 2023, soured soon due to alleged dowry harassment. Her in-laws allegedly demanded a car and Rs 2 lakh. She returned to her parental home and filed a dowry harassment case against her husband and his family, along with a maintenance suit in a Mahoba court. Vinod Kumar was allegedly pressuring her to settle the case, while Kiran had grown close to sub-inspector Yadav, who was investigating her dowry complaint. Her family now claims that both relationships falling apart led to her murder, alleging that Kumar and Yadav conspired to kill her. Kiran was last seen on November 11 when she attended a hearing in her maintenance case in Mahoba court. A case of murder was initially registered against an unknown person. The investigation is underway. htc...
