# India domestic violence surge widens > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/violent-crime-incidents-in-india > Updated: 2026-08-01T16:53:16.000Z. Sources: 39. Developments: 24. The wave of intra‑family and wedding‑related violence that began in late May 2026 has continued into early August and spread to new jurisdictions. In Uttar Pradesh, the July 29 incidents in Bareilly and Varanasi—self‑immolation and a stabbing—were confirmed by CCTV footage and police investigations, reinforcing earlier reports of lethal domestic disputes in the state. The pattern now extends beyond Uttar Pradesh. On 1 August, a 36‑year‑old man in Karnataka’s Vijayanagara district died under disputed circumstances after being taken to police custody following a family argument; relatives allege a lock‑up death and call for an impartial probe. The same day, a 36‑year‑old businessman in Gurugram, Haryana, was found strangled while his wife and young son were present; the wife has been detained amid claims of premeditated murder. These additions join earlier murders in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, Karnal, Haryana and recent killings in Chhattisgarh, underscoring an expanding pattern of extreme domestic violence and related fatalities across multiple Indian states. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-01: India reports two suspicious deaths amid domestic disputes and alleged police misconduct Two Indian men died amid domestic disputes: Khaleel in Karnataka amid alleged lock‑up death, and Sanjeev Yadav in Haryana, whose wife faces murder accusations after a son filmed the scene. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/india-reports-two-suspicious-deaths-amid-domestic-disputes-and-alleged-police-misconduct ### 2026-07-29: Two Fatal Domestic Violence Incidents Reported in Uttar Pradesh, India A 30‑year‑old man died after self‑immolating in Bareilly and a 26‑year‑old man was fatally stabbed by his live‑in partner in Varanasi, both domestic disputes in Uttar Pradesh, India. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/two-fatal-domestic-violence-incidents-reported-in-uttar-pradesh-india ### 2026-07-18: Uttar Pradesh reports woman slashing father‑in‑law and son killing father in separate family crimes In Uttar Pradesh, a woman attacked her father‑in‑law with a blade over alleged rape, and a son killed his father with a spade in a property dispute. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/uttar-pradesh-reports-woman-slashing-fatherinlaw-and-son-killing-father-in-separate-family-crimes ### 2026-07-16: Indore and Karnal record separate domestic murders of women by male relatives Two separate Indian towns saw domestic murders: in Indore a son killed his mother after a dispute;
