Police say woman sprayed family with aerosol-type weapon after argument

In a shocking turn of events, a man in Uttar Pradesh, India has been arrested for allegedly murdering his mother while she was asleep and attempting to frame five relatives in the investigation. The 35-year-old son, Mahendra Singh, was accused of killing his 55-year-old (or 60-year-old, according to different sources) mother, Ram Beti, in Kuddha village on August 6, 2024.

Initially, police named five relatives in the complaint, but later added another individual to the list. However, investigators could not find any evidence linking them to the crime.

After Mahendra's arrest on September 30, he was produced in court and sent to jail on October 1. According to police, he admitted during questioning to killing his mother in order to implicate his rivals. The allegations have not yet been proven in court. Police believe Mahendra's motive was to settle a longstanding dispute with relatives over a ration shop.
