Lucknow: A local Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader allegedly committed suicide after killing his wife and daughter-in-law in Kotwali area of Faizabad district, police said on Tuesday.
61-year-old Krishna Kumar Agarwal hanged himself from a ceiling after killing his 50-year-old wife Prabharani and 22-year-old daughter-in-law Rudrapriya at his Acharya Nagar colony residence on Monday evening, they said.
While Rudrapriya was strangled to death, Prabharani was hit with a rod on her head resulting in her death, police said.
Prima facie it appears that family tension led to the incident. Even Agarwal's son had said that the dispute had reached the peak, a senior officer said here.
