Gorakhpur: A man has been taken into police custody for allegedly killing his aunt over a property issue, police said.
The incident took place under Chori-Chora police station area wherein one Vinod attacked and killed his aunt, who had lost her husband just a day ago. Prima facie, the killing seems to be related to a property matter as the deceased had no children, police inspector Suryabhan Singh told ETV Bharat here.
He said Vinod's uncle Ram Yadav, a retired CRPF personnel, died a day ago and Badami Devi, the widow, had become sole owner of the property that her husband had.
"Vinod has not been arrested yet but he is being questioned," the inspector said, adding that the case would be probed thoroughly and the culprit would be arrested soon.
