The accused has been identified as Arvind Parihar, while the victim was Nandini Parihar. The couple had a love marriage, but had been embroiled in disputes for a long time.
Nandini’s criminal record
It was revealed that Nandini herself had been involved in a murder case in 2017 in Datia, where she killed her lover. She was arrested, served around four and a half years in prison, and was later released on bail. The case is still pending in court.
Fraudulent marriage and previous attacks
Arvind, already married, had deceived Nandini by marrying her falsely. The couple had married at Arya Samaj Mandir. Nandini had filed a complaint at the SP’s office on September 9, accusing Arvind of marrying her by hiding his prior marriage and children.
Nandini further revealed that on November 16, 2024, Arvind and his friend Puja Parihar attacked her after she opposed the marriage, and the matter is still under trial. She also said that while walking with her son and parents near Sirhol police station, she was almost run over by a speeding car. She sustained serious injuries and later filed a case against Arvind.
Social media harassment and threats
Nandini also alleged that Arvind and Puja are spreading fake obscene photos and videos of her on social media and sending them to her family. She claimed that when she protested, she received threats to her life.
Arvind allegedly threatened to kill her if she did not return to him. He was also harassing her relatives, leaving vulgar comments on social media whenever he saw her with any man.
Attempt to kill wife, son, and mother 10 months ago
Arvind, a contractor by profession, had previously tried to kill Nandini, her son, and mother with a car about 10 months ago. At that time, the trio was returning from a police station after filing a case against him.
He backed his car thrice in an attempt to crush them, but a passerby blocked him with his vehicle, foiling the attempt. Nandini was seriously injured, and her mother and son also sustained injuries. A case of attempted murder was registered against Arvind.
