A tragic domestic dispute escalated into violence in Hasanpur, a locality in Ballia district, Uttar Pradesh, when Amit Kumar Gupta allegedly killed his wife, Preeti Gupta (23), and her mother, Sushila Devi (55), late Saturday night. The attack reportedly stemmed from ongoing marital issues, as the couple had been married for five years but had been living apart for the past month. Amit reportedly entered his in-laws' home around 12:30 am on Sunday, using the roof to gain access. After fatally stabbing both women, he also attacked his father-in-law, Antu Gupta (60), who attempted to intervene, leaving him critically injured. Antu was first taken to a district hospital and later referred to a trauma center in Varanasi due to the severity of his injuries.
