Lucknow, March 12: A shocking double murder case has emerged from Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh, where a man allegedly raped a woman and later murdered her and her visually impaired son following a dispute. Police have launched a manhunt for the accused after the incident came to light on Monday.

Concerned by the lack of response, the family asked a neighbour to check on them. The neighbour went to the house and discovered the bodies, with the child found drowned in a tub.
The victim’s brother also alleged that the accused had repeatedly asked to marry his sister but was rejected several times. The family suspects the crime may have been motivated by anger over those refusals.
Police who arrived at the scene reportedly found the woman’s clothes torn and injury marks on several parts of her body. The bodies were sent for post mortem examination, which later confirmed that the woman had been raped and strangled.
During the investigation, officers reviewed CCTV footage from the area. According to police, the woman was seen entering her home at around 7:25 pm, while the accused allegedly arrived at the house at approximately 7:31 pm. Later footage reportedly showed him fleeing the scene with clothes soaked in water.
Authorities have formed multiple teams to trace and arrest the suspect as the investigation continues.
