Kanpur murder case: Accused daughter-in-law avoids eye contact in court

Three accused persons in the Vineet Manocha murder case were produced before a Kanpur court seeking police remand, with the principal suspect, identified as the victim's daughter-in-law Shalu, appearing visibly uncomfortable during proceedings. The two other accused, Vishal and Rajkishor, were also presented alongside her. The court hearing could not proceed due to an ongoing lawyers' strike, and the matter has been adjourned to September 19. Police have indicated they intend to conduct joint interrogation of all three accused to establish connections between them and piece together the sequence of events in the case. Investigators believe that questioning the suspects in each other's presence may yield crucial leads in the investigation. The case has drawn significant attention in the region following the death of Manocha, with authorities working to establish motive and circumstance. The next court date will determine whether police custody is granted for further interrogation of the three accused.
