Kanpur woman, 30, held for hiring men who stabbed father-in-law 26 times

A 30-year-old woman named Shalu Vinocha has been detained by police in connection with the murder of her 63-year-old father-in-law, Vineet Vinocha, a prominent pharmaceutical trader. Vineet was found dead in his home with 26 stab wounds on September 5. Police allege that Shalu ordered two men, her domestic helper Vishal Gautam and his alleged accomplice Raj Kishore, to kill Vineet to end his financial control over the household. The suspects were arrested after a gunfight with police. Investigators are reviewing Shalu's statements and call records to determine her involvement. The victim's family runs a pharmaceutical business with an annual turnover of over ₹40 crore. CCTV footage showed the suspects entering the residence, and security personnel initially denied entry but allowed them in after receiving instructions from Shalu.

A man has killed his father-in-law with an axe in Madhya Pradesh over suspicions regarding his wife, according to local authorities. The incident occurred in the town of Bhopal, where the accused, Ramprasad Raikwar, suspected his wife, Rashmi, leading to frequent disputes and conflicts between the couple, said Superintendent of Police Anand Kaladgi. In a separate case in Kanpur, a 30-year-old woman, Shalu Vinocha, has been detained in connection with the murder of her 63-year-old father-in-law, Vineet Vinocha, who was found dead in his home with 26 stab wounds. The victim was a prominent pharmaceutical trader, and the attack happened on September 5. Police are investigating claims that Shalu ordered the killing to escape her father-in-law's financial control over the household. The suspects, Vishal Gautam and Raj Kishore, were arrested after a gunfight with police. They reportedly acted on Shalu’s instructions. During questioning, Shalu claimed that she and her husband had limited control over their finances and were given a fixed monthly allowance. The family operated Pharma Traders, a wholesale pharmaceutical business with an annual turnover exceeding ₹40 crore. Vineet was alone at home during the attack, while his wife, Punita, was away visiting relatives in Ghaziabad. Their daughter and son-in-law reside in Gurugram. CCTV footage showed two men entering the residence, one identified as Vishal, the domestic helper. Another man was seen making a delivery nearby before entering the flat. Security personnel initially denied entry but allowed the men in after a phone call from Shalu, who claimed they were delivering medicine. The family has been involved in the pharmaceutical industry for three generations, starting with Vineet’s father in 1968.
