Aaj Tak reports that a CCTV video has emerged from the Thursday double murder and suicide in Lucknow. The footage shows the accused, Manas Bajpai, arguing with his wife Divya Mishra outside an ICICI bank, then assaulting her as bank staff try to intervene. Police say Manas, an SBI senior assistant manager, shot Divya twice at the spot.
According to Aaj Tak, Manas then went home by auto, killed his ill sister, and shot himself. Three weapons were recovered. The tenant, Lovkush, told the channel that Manas appeared agitated, went inside and locked the door. When the door was broken open, both were found dead. Police are investigating a WhatsApp status in which Manas allegedly accused his wife of cheating and said he had killed her and would kill himself and his sister. The couple had a marital dispute and were living separately, a divorce case was pending in court.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Aaj Tak’s coverage is a straightforward crime report with no discernible government slant. It leads with the dramatic CCTV video, then lays out the sequence, the tenant’s account, and the police investigation. The outlet does not editorialise or add social commentary. The measured read is that this was a domestic violence murder-suicide with prior marital strife and a court case. The key detail to watch is the forensic analysis of the WhatsApp status and the weapons used.
