Prayagraj: An alarming situation unfolded after a newly married woman was found dead in her home. Subsequently, individuals from her maternal family set the house ablaze. Unfortunately, the mother-in-law and father-in-law of the deceased sustained serious burns and succumbed to their injuries. The incident occurred in the Mutthiganj police jurisdiction.
It is reported that Anshika, 21, the wife of furniture businessman Anshu Kesarwani and a resident of Sattichoura under the Mutthiganj police area, was found hanging in her room under mysterious circumstances on Monday late night.
