"The entire system is pitted against us. Attempt being made to cover up," say the parents of Twisha Sharma, who died at her in-laws’ home in Bhopal. Twisha’s mother-in-law, Giribala - a retired judge who served in Bhopal and is now an accused in the case - has sparked serious concerns over impartiality. Giribala's anticipatory bail sailed through the court, Twisha's parents allege. "There is mismatch in the PM report and actual findings," they added. The grieving parents are demanding that the investigation be immediately transferred to Delhi or any other independent jurisdiction to ensure a fair probe.

UP Family Massacre: Four Brutally Murdered; Mysterious "Bunty Babli aur Bahu Ne mara" Message Found at Crime Scene In Prayagraj district of Uttar Pradesh, four members of a family were murdered. The bodies of Virendra Vaishya (70), his wife Anita (65), and their daughter Meenakshi (40) were found in two rooms of the house. Their son Abhishek was initially missing, and suspicion immediately fell on him. However, his body was later discovered in the shop on the ground floor, which was locked from the outside. Inside one of the rooms, "Bunty Babli aur Bahu Ne mara" was scribbled on a cardboard. Ashwini Vaishya, one of the sons of deceased Virendra Vaishya, currently lodged in Kaushambi jail, is infamously known as Bunty and his wife Babli. They have been booked in multiple cases of fraud. Police suspect they could be the killers, or the "Bunty-Babli" reference was deliberately placed to mislead investigators. The police are yet to ascertain the motive behind the shocking murders in Prayagraj.
