Bhiwani, 19 April 2011: Two widows - Suman and Shakuntala - were beaten to death in the village of Raanila in Bhiwani, Haryana, allegedly by their nephew Naresh. But shockingly, not a single villager came to their rescue.

 

According to reports, Naresh claimed Shakuntala had a bad influence on his aunt Suman, but what has stunned everyone is how Naresh saw fit to allegedly murder the duo.

 

"I begged people to help, but they chose to stand and watch. He (Naresh) pushed and threatened me," said Rohtash, Suman’s brother-in-law.

 

The accused, a rape convict, had already served a three-year sentence and was out on bail. Further reports indicate, the police have arrested two others. "We are investigating the murders that took place here," said SHO Japan Singh.

 

Having killed both women, Naresh has now surrendered to the police. But the village of Bhiwana remains scarred by this gruesome tale.
