Amethi Family Murder: Prime Suspect Arrested After Chilling Warning

Chandan Verma, accused of murdering a Dalit family in Amethi, confessed to the crime amid claims of a soured relationship.

Sunil Kumar, a government school teacher, his wife Poonam Bharti, and their two daughters were shot dead in their home in Amethi.
Poonam Bharti had filed a police complaint against Chandan Verma in August, citing threats and harassment, including casteist abuse.
Verma was arrested while attempting to flee and later confessed to the murders, claiming a failed personal relationship with Poonam.
Verma's WhatsApp status prior to the murders ominously stated '5 people are going to die,' indicating premeditation.
The case has sparked political outrage, with calls for accountability over the law-and-order situation in Uttar Pradesh.
