Shamli, Uttar Pradesh. In a haunting story that blurs the line between grief and vengeance, a 27-year-old man from Shamli district, Uttar Pradesh, allegedly spent four years befriending his father’s killer — only to later shoot him dead in a calculated act of revenge.
The accused, Rahul alias Chhotu, a resident of Manglaura village under the Jhinjhana police station, is said to have killed 50-year-old Jaiveer, the man convicted of murdering his father 15 years ago.
The original crime had stemmed from a land dispute that claimed the life of Rahul’s father, Satyabhan.
According to the police, Jaiveer served 11 years in prison for the murder and was released thereafter. Life in the small village seemed to have returned to normalcy — with time, wounds appeared to heal, and even the two families, who lived barely 30 metres apart, seemed to coexist peacefully.
Villagers often spoke of their strange friendship as a sign of reconciliation and forgiveness.
But beneath the surface, Rahul carried an unhealed wound — a son’s silent rage and longing for justice. Over the next few years, he did what no one could have imagined — he befriended Jaiveer, spending time with him, attending local gatherings together, and even helping him with work.
For the villagers, it was a story of forgiveness; for Rahul, it was an elaborate façade — a long, cold wait for vengeance.
On Saturday evening, around 7 PM, as Jaiveer walked home from his fields near the Yamuna Dam Road, Rahul confronted him and allegedly fired three bullets, one piercing his chest.
Villagers rushed him to the hospital, but doctors declared him dead. Rahul fled the scene immediately.
“Rahul had been waiting for years for the right moment to avenge his father’s death,” said Jitendra Sharma, SHO of Jhinjhana. “No one could have guessed he was carrying such deep pain behind his calm face.”
Rahul’s mother, devastated and in disbelief, told police, “He is our only child. We truly believed the past was behind us.”
The case now stands as a tragic testament to how love, loss, and revenge can consume a life. Even though Jaiveer had paid for his crime with 11 years of imprisonment, it wasn’t enough to satisfy Rahul’s yearning for justice.
In trying to avenge his father, the son himself has become part of the same cycle of violence — one that destroys both the guilty and the grieving.
Police have launched a manhunt to trace Rahul, with ASP Santosh Kumar Singh confirming that multiple teams are deployed.
This incident from Shamli serves as a chilling reminder that while the law punishes crime, the human heart often struggles to forgive — and when vengeance replaces justice, tragedy only deepens.
