Five days after the brutal killings of four persons in Gurugram's Rajendra Park area in which the prime suspect Rao Rai Singh, who killed his daughter-in-law Sunita Yadav and three members of his tenant family, Sunita's brother has filed a complaint against her in-laws and husband Anand Yadav at the Rajendra Park police station in Gurugram.

"Her in-laws, her husband had murdered my sister to grab her property. Her husband is a lawyer who killed my sister in the conspiracy. He alleged that Sunita’s in-laws constantly picked fights with her over household chores because she refused to sell the property. Sunita often complained that her husband ill-treated her and in-laws assaulted her, but each time, we consoled her and told her things would get better,” Kumar alleged in his police complaint.

The complainant Ashok Kumar told the police that Sunita Yadav married Anand Yadav, the son of murder suspects Rao Rai Singh and Bimlesh Yadav, in 2010. She was a resident of Kanina in Mahendragarh and moved in with her in-laws at their Rajendra Park residence after getting married.

Kumar alleged in his police complaint that

she was deliberately ill-treated and assaulted by her husband and in-laws allegedly because she owns one acre of land in her native place in Kanina in Mahendragarh.

The complainant said following their father’s death, the property was transferred to him and Sunita. Ashok is a farmer who undertakes agricultural work on three acres, of which one acre belonged to Sunita.

“The land is at a prime location on Kanina-Kosli main road and has a value of ?1 crores. Her in-laws and husband were forcing her to sell it. Her husband even had threatened me in February 2021 to handed over money after selling Sunita's property and If she will die the property will be transferred to him," Kumar alleged in the police complaint.

"On that fateful day when her in-laws and husband were killing Sunita their tenant Krishan Tiwari had seen that and when he runs away towards his room while yelling they allegedly had killed Krishan and his family too. One of their neighbours had informed me over the phone," Kumar alleged.

He said Sunita was assaulted a few years ago and a panchayat was also held in her in-law's house over the issue.

The police said they have received a complaint. Further probe is underway.
