Generally, in cases like triple murder in family, the accused in remorse takes extreme step but in this case, Jitendra would refrain as he still have two little son alive. His elder son is admitted with bullet injuries, while the younger son is at his uncles’ place. The younger boy had told police that he had never felt comfortable with his father as he would quarrel with everyone in the house. The little boy had said that his atmosphere at his maternal uncle’s home was much conducive, informed police. SP further said, “We have also interrogated accused’s relative who live in neighborhood.
