Patna, Bihar – In a tragic incident in Bihar’s Bhagalpur district, a family of three, including a one-year-old girl, was killed by their own relatives on Tuesday afternoon, the police reported.
The horrifying crime took place in Navtolia village under Gopalpur police station at approximately 4:30 pm, according to officials. The victims have been identified as Chandan Kumar, 40, his wife Chandni Devi, 30, and their daughter Roshni Kumari.

Chandni had a love marriage with Chandan in 2021, which led to ongoing conflict with her father Pappu Singh and brother Dhiraj Singh. On the day of the incident, Pappu Singh violently attacked the couple with an iron rod, leaving Chandan with fractures on his hands. To make matters worse, Dhiraj arrived with a firearm and shot the couple, as well as the one-year-old Roshni, who tragically died on the spot.
