Sunil Kumar, his wife Poonam Bharti and their two daughters – who were just one and six years old – had been shot dead at their home on Thursday.
According to the police, the suspect was planning this murder a month before the incident and also openly announced his intentions. He also tried to kill himself afterwards. Two months ago Poonam also filed a complaint against Chandan Verma (suspect) that he had threatened to kill her on more than one occasion and would be responsible if anything happened to her or her family. In a first information report (FIR), Bharti had said she had gone to a hospital in Rae Bareli on August 18 when Verma had misbehaved with her and then slapped her and her husband when she had protested. He said ‘If you report this I will kill you’.
