In a shocking case from Rampur district, Uttar Pradesh, India, Daan Singh, along with two accomplices, was arrested for the alleged murder of his wife, Lata, a constable, and their three-year-old son, Avansh. The incident took place on February 25, 2023, when the family was returning from a trip to Nainital. Initially, the police believed the burnt car was the result of an accident, but a thorough investigation revealed it was a premeditated murder aimed at claiming ₹2 crore (approximately $240,000 USD) in insurance benefits.
