Lucknow witnessed a tragic incident on Thursday when an SBI field officer allegedly shot dead his wife and sister before taking his own life. The motive behind the killings remains unclear, though police recovered a WhatsApp status in which the man accused his wife of infidelity. Manas Bajpai, 35, reached the ICICI Bank office, spoke with his wife Divya Mishra, 33, and allegedly shot her before fleeing.
He then drove to his rented house in Gomti Nagar, where he allegedly killed his 28-year-old sister Siba before turning the gun on himself. Neighbors discovered the bodies after hearing gunshots, and police have launched an investigation into the incident. Divya, a relationship manager at ICICI Bank, and Manas, who worked at the SBI Engineering College branch, had been married for 12 years and had no children.
Divya had filed for divorce the previous year and had been living separately in Alambagh. The WhatsApp status allegedly stated Manas had killed his wife due to her betrayal and planned to end his life as well. Police are questioning individuals connected to the family and examining various evidence to determine the reason behind the killings.
