Tragic Double Murder in Chhattisgarh: Couple Found Dead Amid Property Dispute Suspicions

An elderly couple was found murdered in their home in the Janjgir-Champa district of Chhattisgarh, authorities reported on Wednesday. The discovery in Khapri village revealed the bodies of Santaram Sahu, 65, and Shyama Bai Sahu, 60, submerged in a pool of blood inside their residence.
