A couple was stabbed to death and their son injured allegedly by close relatives in a locality in Katihar district of Bihar, a police officer said today.
The incident took place in Dhoom Tola last night when the kins from his first wife's family visited the house of 45 year-old Khedan Das and stabbed him and his second wife Solita Devi (34) to death and injured their 12 year-old son Deepak Kumar, Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Chandrika Prasad Singh said.
The injured boy was admitted to a Sub-Divisional Hospital at Barsoi, he said.
A case has been lodged in this connection and a probe was on to find out the motive behind the double murder, Singh said.
"Since, the matter is under probe, I would not like to
comment on the issue. However, I am sure that the truth will come out," Rathod said.
He also said he along with his wife had already sent a complaint copy to Pune Police alleging that the group of mountaineers is defaming them.
"We have sought action against these people who are trying to defame us by lodging such baseless complaints with the department."
While clarifying on not reporting to the job, he said that they have given a leave application to the department.
