Late July 2026, two separate killings in India were linked to alcohol‑related family disputes. In Delhi’s Maidan Garhi, a son beat his mother to death after she refused to fund his drinking, while in Bhubaneswar, a son killed his contractor father over money for liquor. Both perpetrators were arrested shortly after the attacks.

A week later, the focus shifted to other forms of domestic homicide. In Delhi’s Gagan Vihar, a husband murdered his wife, stole roughly 1.2 million rupees, and attempted to flee toward Nepal before being captured. In Jharkhand’s Pakur district, a man slit his wife’s throat and that of her mother‑in‑law; forensic work led to his arrest within 12 hours. These cases underscore a pattern of extreme intra‑family violence across different Indian states and the swift police response that secured arrests in each incident.
