Azamgarh. A horrific double murder that occurred early Friday morning in Hewati Dihwa village, under the Pawai police station area, has plunged the entire area into panic. Unknown assailants brutally murdered a grandfather and grandson sleeping at their home and tubewell with an axe. Following this heinous incident, an atmosphere of mourning and fear has gripped the village, while the police have intensified the investigation to solve the case quickly.
Senior Superintendent of Police Dr. Anil Kumar, after inspecting the scene, stated that several special police teams have been formed to solve the double murder and arrest the accused as soon as possible. A thorough investigation is being conducted into all possible aspects based on forensic evidence, technical investigations, and other scientific methods. He categorically stated that no accused involved in the incident will be spared and that the strictest possible legal action will be taken against the culprits.
According to reports, 70-year-old village resident Jagdamba Prasad Yadav was sleeping as usual at a tubewell located about 300 meters from his home. His 25-year-old grandson, Ankit, was sleeping in his house with his maternal grandmother, Phulmati, and two brothers. At around 2 a.m., an unknown attacker entered the house and repeatedly attacked Ankit with an axe. Hearing the sound of the attack, Phulmati woke up. She immediately woke Ankit’s two brothers, and the seriously injured Ankit was taken to the Community Health Center in Nagpur, Ambedkar Nagar district, for treatment, where doctors declared him dead.
When family members arrived at the tubewell to report Ankit’s death, they found Jagdamba Prasad Yadav’s body lying in a pool of blood. He had multiple deep wounds on his neck and body, inflicted by a sharp weapon. This caused panic in the entire village, and a large number of villagers quickly gathered at the scene.
Upon receiving information about the incident, Additional Superintendent of Police (Rural) Chirag Jain arrived at the scene with police forces. The forensic team and dog squad thoroughly inspected the scene and collected crucial evidence. During the investigation, a blood-stained axe was recovered from a field about 100 meters from the house. The police seized it and sent it for forensic examination. The police hope that this weapon may provide important clues in the investigation.
Senior Superintendent of Police Dr. Anil Kumar stated that preliminary investigations have revealed the possibility of family transactions and mutual disputes, but the police are investigating every aspect thoroughly, not limiting themselves to any single possibility. He stated that based on scientific evidence, technical analysis, and forensic reports, the entire case will be solved soon and the accused will be arrested.
This double murder has created an atmosphere of terror not only in Hevati village but also in the surrounding areas. Villagers have demanded that the police expedite the investigation and ensure strict punishment for the culprits. Police officials say that the investigation is progressing rapidly and the entire case is likely to be exposed soon.
