The capital of Uttar Pradesh, Lucknow, is reeling from the shocking Ashiana murder case where Akshat Singh, a 21-year-old, has been arrested for allegedly killing his father, Manavendra Singh, by shooting him and then dismembering the body to conceal it in a blue drum. Following his arrest, he has been placed in police remand to facilitate rigorous interrogation regarding the gruesome details of the crime. The police have been exploring every angle and suspect that his sister might have a dubious involvement as well.

According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) Vikrant Veer, the father was reported missing on February 20, prompting an investigation that led police to interrogate Akshat Singh on February 23. During the questioning, shocking truths emerged as Akshat confessed to the murder, revealing that he shot his father with a rifle. This confession adds a chilling layer to the case, highlighting the brutality involved in the crime and the premeditated nature of the act.

Further revelations indicate that Akshat attempted to procure an online knife to dismember the body but was unsuccessful, prompting him to buy a saw from a shop to carry out the horrific act. His actions have not only left a family shattered but also raised serious questions about the motive behind such an extreme behavior. The ongoing investigations will focus on understanding his sister's alleged involvement and the broader implications of this familial tragedy in the community.
