The entire family was rushed to the CHC Singhpur where the doctors declared them dead on arrival.

In Amethi, a teacher couple and their children were murdered in their home by miscreants; a very shameful incident. Law and order is completely destroyed under the BJP government, the morale of the criminals is high. Police should arrest the accused soon and give them strict punishment."
