Indore MBA Student Murder Case: Victim’s Father Alleges Family Assisted Accused; Accused’s Father Denies Claims

Indore (Madhya Pradesh): The father of an MBA student, who was brutally murdered by her boyfriend Piyush in the Dwarkapuri area, has leveled fresh allegations against the accused’s family. He claims they assisted Piyush while he was absconding.

“If he truly intended to surrender, why did he do so in Mumbai instead of Indore?” the victim’s father questioned. He said that Piyush remained in contact with his relatives and called for a thorough investigation into their involvement. He also said that whenever he attempted to contact Piyush’s father, his calls were ignored.

However, the accused’s father Bankat Lal refuted these claims, saying he had no contact with his son during that period. Lal said that on February 10, Pandrinath police informed him that both Piyush and the victim were missing. Despite multiple attempts to reach his son after the college informed him about Piyush’s two-day absence, the phone remained unreachable.

“I was informed of the murder on February 13. After Piyush’s arrest, I refused the police's offer to meet him. The family has severed all ties with Piyush and we want the severest punishment for him,” Lal said.
