A 25-year-old man in Bihar’s Begusarai was allegedly murdered by his in-laws for objecting his wife to making reels on Instagram, police said. The incident took place in the Fafaut village of Begusarai on Sunday night.
According to an NDTV report, the deceased, Maheshwar Kumar Rai, got married to Rani Kumari six years ago and the couple has a five-year-old son. Maheshwar worked as a labourer in Kolkata and had returned home recently. His wife used to make reels (short videos) of viral songs and post them on Instagram. She had over 9,500 followers on the social media site.
Maheshwar objected to his wife making reels which started an argument between them.
The man went to his in-laws’ house late Sunday night when his brother, Rudal, called him but someone picked up the phone. An argument ensued over the phone, following which, Rudal called his family who arrived at the in-laws’ house to find Maheshwar dead.
Maheshwar’s father alleged that he was hanged to death and the woman’s family members were missing from the house when they reached the spot. The victim’s family also alleged that they saw four people trying to dispose of a body on the pretext of taking it to the hospital.
Police were informed of the incident and the body was taken for post-mortem. An investigation into the case is underway.
