In Dehradun's Raiapur region, an elderly couple and their domestic worker were allegedly stabbed to death on Tuesday over a payment dispute, the Dehradun Police announced. The accused, Ramkumar, has been arrested.
According to reports, Ramkumar had visited the home for plumbing work. Following completion of the job, an argument ensued over payment of an additional Rs 300. India Today quoted the police as saying the dispute escalated, and Ramkumar allegedly attacked the couple with a screwdriver. The domestic worker, working nearby, heard the commotion and rushed to intervene, after which she too was attacked.
Senior Superintendent of Police Pramendra Doval revealed that CCTV footage showed the man entering and leaving the house alone. Doval stated that initially, Ramkumar said they had argued over payment; when he asked for his dues, he was offered a lesser amount, escalating the conflict.
Police recovered a gold chain from Ramkumar's pocket, and asserted they would pursue the strictest legal action against the accused.
