In Kanpur, India, police have arrested the husband of a woman who spent three weeks in jail for the murder of her father-in-law. Subrat Minocha is accused of planning the killing and having his wife, Shalu, framed for the crime. Shalu, 30, was initially arrested and accused of hiring two men to kill Vineet Minocha, her father-in-law, who was found dead with 26 stab wounds at his apartment in September.
Shalu's family maintains her innocence and has sought a fair investigation. Police are now re-examining Shalu's alleged involvement and will only clear her if the evidence and court proceedings support her innocence.
