4 Path Labs, 3 Liquor Shops... The Killer Son Wanted to Manage His Father's Business
The murder of Manvendra Singh in Lucknow has unfolded into a story of family conflict and ambition.
The tragic case of Manvendra Singh's murder in the Ashiana area of Lucknow has emerged not only as a sensational crime story but also as an exploration of deep-seated family tensions. Investigations reveal a conflict of aspirations between a successful businessman and his son, who initially showed promise as a doctor but increasingly believed he was ready to take over the family business. This clash of dreams ultimately led to a fateful night that shattered the family.
Manvendra Singh, originally from Jalaun, established a prosperous business network in Lucknow, which included four pathology labs and three licensed liquor shops. This financial success made the family relatively affluent. Following the death of his wife, Manvendra's world revolved around his children: son Akshat and daughter Kriti. Family members have expressed that Manvendra's greatest wish was for Akshat to become a doctor. Akshat had completed his secondary education at the prestigious La Martiniere School and had been preparing for the NEET medical entrance exam through a coaching institute, attempting the exam twice.
Despite the family’s apparent success, the pressure and expectations placed on Akshat may have led to his belief that he could step into a leadership role within the family business. This perception could have contributed to a simmering conflict between father and son, as they struggled with differing visions for their lives. Ultimately, this unresolved tension culminated in a violent and tragic incident that has left the family in tatters and raises larger questions about familial aspirations and the pressures of inherited success.
