Uncle Identified in Killing of Three Children in Bihar's Aurangabad

Investigators say early evidence points to a domestic dispute.

Overview

  • The attack in Khuthatan village, reported Friday morning, left siblings aged 10, 7, and 5 dead, according to police.
  • Police named the children's uncle, Amant Pal, as the suspect after he allegedly slit their throats with a sharp tool and then hurt himself.
  • He received first aid at Aurangabad Sadar Hospital before doctors referred him in critical condition to a larger facility in Patna.
  • Officers registered a case, sent the bodies for post-mortem, and called a forensic team to process a room that was locked from inside and accessed by neighbors through a ventilator.
  • Investigators are checking reports that loud music masked cries and are working to confirm whether a family dispute triggered the attack, with the father's rail pantry job keeping him away and the mother raising the alarm at home.
