# Uttarakhand man kills two sisters days before Raksha Bandhan 2026-08-26T01:19:01+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets A 29-year-old man, Vivek Kumar alias Vicky, was arrested for allegedly shooting dead his two sisters in Roorkee, Uttarakhand. The incidents occurred in two separate locations on Tuesday. NDTV reports Vivek first shot his sister Pushpa at her home. Hindustan Times reports he first shot elder sister Sangeeta in Preet Vihar, then travelled 1.5 km to Subhash Nagar where he shot Pushpa. When Pushpa's husband Sandeep intervened, Vivek allegedly fired at him. Sandeep was injured and referred to AIIMS Rishikesh. Police recovered a.315-bore country-made pistol and six empty cartridges. The accused procured the weapon from Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, police said. An FIR was registered under sections 103(1) and 109(1) of the BNS. Senior superintendent of police Navneet Singh Bhullar said the killings were triggered by Vivek's suspicion about his sisters' character and a property dispute. Vivek, who ran a coaching centre, had been previously arrested in a paper leak case. He was produced before a court and sent to judicial custody. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both NDTV and Hindustan Times reported the facts without editorial slant.
