A shocking incident has come to light in Uttar Pradesh’s Lucknow, where a man hired contract killers to murder his wife and her lover, but in a twisted turn of events, the killers ended up murdering the man's son instead. The reason behind this horrific act was a payment dispute between the man and the contract killers.

According to police reports, Anjani Sahu conspired with his son, Vinayak Sahu, to murder his wife Shanti Sahu and her second husband, Imran. Shanti had left Anjani to live with Imran, which prompted the father-son duo to plot revenge.

Vinayak allegedly gave ‘supari’ to kill his mother to four men, Shivam Rawat (20), Ashish Kumar (21), Amir Alam (22), and Shiva Rawat (20). Vinayak promised an auto-rickshaw to Amir and Ashish and Rs 2.5 lakh to Shivam and Shiva for the murder.

However, when the killers demanded an advance payment of Rs 1.5 lakh, Vinayak refused, leading to a heated altercation. In a fit of rage, the contract killers fatally stabbed him in the neck.

The police have arrested the accused contract killers and have recovered crucial evidence from the crime scene.
