Jabalpur, Oct 24: In a shocking incident in Madhya Pradesh’s Jabalpur, a man allegedly stabbed his brother and sister-in-law to death on Friday following a property dispute, police said. The attack occurred in front of the couple’s young children.

Officials identified the accused as Bablu Chaudhary, a daily wage labourer, and the victims as his elder brother Sanjay, a trader, and Sanjay’s wife. The siblings had been locked in a long-standing conflict over their ancestral property.

Bablu reportedly visited Sanjay’s house in Baldi Kori Dafai around noon and demanded his share, which led to an argument. CCTV footage revealed Bablu repeatedly stabbing Sanjay, even after he fell to the ground, while his sister-in-law tried to intervene. Bablu later chased and attacked his sister-in-law inside the house in front of her children.

Both victims were rushed to a hospital, where they were pronounced dead. Bablu fled the scene, and police have registered a murder case and launched a manhunt. Teams have been deployed in nearby districts to apprehend him.

“This was a cold-blooded act stemming from a long-standing property dispute. The accused will be arrested soon,” said Pratiksha Marco, officer in-charge of the local police station.
