LUCKNOW: A 30-year-old man who was on the run after killing his sister-in-law and attacking his mother, two nephews and a neighbour in Awas Vikas Colony in Gonda on Saturday evening, was arrested by the police on Sunday.
Cops said they were planning to invoke the National Security Act (NSA) against the accused.
The accused, Pawan Yadav, took his nephews (aged 3 and 8 years) to the terrace on the pretext of playing with them.
Pawan suddenly attacked them with a machete slashing the tongue of the 8-year-old boy.
Hearing their screams, Pawan’s sister-in-law Renu Yadav (31) and mother Rajwanti (60) rushed upstairs but Pawan stabbed them too. A neighbour, Rajnath Shukla, rushed to the rescue of the family but Pawan also attacked him and fled the spot dumping the machete in front of his house. While Renu was pronounced dead upon arrival, others are undergoing treatment at the hospital.
“Pawan was arrested from Kotwali police station area following a tip-off,” SP, Gonda, Raj Karan Nayyar said. “Pawan alleged that his sister-in-law was planning to eliminate him and his nephews were also involved in her scheme of things. He said the family did not want him to get married, therefore, he attacked them,” the SP said.
“He had no remorse for his act. He appears to be anti-social and shows signs of being a psychopath,” a counsellor present during interrogation said.
“We are seeking his judicial custody. We also plan to invoke NSA against him,” the SP said.
