Lucknow Police Officer Accused of Killing Wife
A head constable posted in Lucknow has been suspended after allegedly killing his wife during a domestic dispute. Police identified the accused as Himanshu Srivastava and the victim as 40-year-old Rashmi Srivastava.

The accused was taken into custody after the woman’s relatives contacted police.

Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances of the death and have not yet established a final motive. The case has also prompted questions about how earlier allegations of domestic violence were handled.

Wanted Suspect Arrested in Transporter Murder
In another Uttar Pradesh case, the Special Task Force arrested Jai Kishan Sharma, a wanted suspect in the alleged abduction and murder of transporter Dhirendra Pratap Singh.
Police said Singh disappeared on August 29 and his bullet-riddled body was recovered the following day. Sharma was arrested in Lucknow’s Sushant Golf City area. Police said he had a reward of ₹50,000 announced for information leading to his arrest.
