Three sisters were killed by their uncle in West Bengal's Murshidabad area on Thursday (August 13, 2026) night. The accused himself surrendered to the local police station after he committed the crime, police said.

The incident happened in the Suti area of Murshidabad district around 6 p.m. in the evening. The police discovered the bodies after the accused Golam Badshah (22) surrendered to the police station later in the evening.

Superintendent of Police from the Jangipur District Police told The Hindu that accused will be produced in court today and taken into police custody for further questioning. "He did not show any remorse even after he surrendered to the police. He does not seem mentally stable," SP Surinder Singh said.

There were four minor girls playing at the accused man's residence during the incident. All of them were his nieces. He attacked all four, one died on the spot. Two others died at the hospital, and the fourth one is still undergoing treatment. The fourth girl is in a critical state and is battling for her life at the Behrampur Hospital.

The other three bodies have been sent for post mortem, the police said. The accused attacked them with a sharp object.

Once the relatives nearby heard the minors scream they rushed in to find them in a bloodied state.
