UP man alleges his mother was killed by siblings over property

A man has claimed that his mother was poisoned to death by his three siblings, their wives, and nephews over property, according to the police on Thursday.

The woman died two years ago and poisoning was confirmed after a viscera report that came recently, they said.

Property Transfer Dispute

“One Yogendra Singh Yadav (Yogi), filed a complaint stating that his elderly mother, Pavitra Devi, was manipulated by his brothers Ravendra Pal, Bijendra Pal and Narendra Pal into transferring property to them,” Jalesar police station in-charge (SHO) Sudhir Raghav said.

Investigation Underway

Yogi alleges that Pavitra was eventually poisoned by his three siblings, wives, and nephews, the SHO said. A post-mortem was conducted but the investigation was delayed until the viscera report confirmed poisoning.
