Azamgarh, Uttar Pradesh | July 2, 2025<\/strong> \u2014 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a horrifying act of violence that has left an entire neighborhood in shock, a man in Azamgarh\u2019s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Nagar<\/strong> shot dead his mother, son, and daughter<\/strong> before turning the weapon on himself. The man, identified as Neeraj Pandey (32)<\/strong>, died on the spot along with his mother, while his 4-year-old son succumbed to injuries<\/strong> at the hospital. His 7-year-old daughter remains in critical condition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred on Tuesday afternoon<\/strong>, shortly after Neeraj returned from the market with ice cream and snacks (locally called ghathi<\/em>) for his children. Police sources say Neeraj was under the influence of alcohol when he committed the crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sequence of the Tragedy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to eyewitness accounts and local police:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Neeraj returned home from the market with ice cream and snacks for his children.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • While his wife briefly stepped out to give water to her father-in-law, Neeraj suddenly took out a pistol<\/strong> and shot his mother in the abdomen<\/strong>, killing her instantly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • He then fired at his daughter\u2019s stomach<\/strong> and shot his son in the lower back<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Finally, he shot himself in the head<\/strong>, dying on the spot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The horrifying sound of gunfire alerted his wife, who ran back only to witness the gruesome aftermath. The entire neighborhood was left stunned by the brutal act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Three Possible Motives Under Investigation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    According to police and local reports, there are three main angles<\/strong> currently being probed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Ongoing family dispute<\/strong>: Neeraj had longstanding tensions with his maternal family<\/strong>, particularly his grandparents and mother<\/strong>, after a past altercation involving his brother-in-law.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Past criminal case<\/strong>: Two months ago, Neeraj was arrested and sent to jail for threatening to kill his brother-in-law in Pandeypur, Varanasi<\/strong>, with an illegal firearm after his sister was allegedly abused by her husband. His mother and grandparents later reconciled with the brother-in-law<\/strong>, leading to further resentment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Marital suspicion and alcoholism<\/strong>: Police sources say Neeraj frequently doubted his wife\u2019s character<\/strong> and was known to consume alcohol regularly<\/strong>. On the day of the incident, he was reportedly intoxicated. Investigators noted that his wife\u2019s lack of visible emotional response<\/strong> after the incident raised further questions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Unanswered Questions Remain<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Despite the evidence, several aspects of the case remain unclear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Where did Neeraj get the pistol and ammunition<\/strong>?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Why did he spare his wife and father<\/strong>, while killing his mother and children?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Why did he go to the market before the attack and give his wife \u20b935,000?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • What was the exact trigger<\/strong> for such a horrific act?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Senior police officials have stated that parivarik vivaad<\/strong> (domestic conflict) remains the most likely cause but are not ruling out other factors. A forensic investigation is underway, and statements are being recorded from family members and neighbors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Official Statement<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n

        \u201cAt this stage, family dispute appears to be the primary reason. The angle involving his brother-in-law is being probed further. We are investigating all possible leads,\u201d said Madhuban Singh, SP City, Azamgarh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
