CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Deoria. In Uttar Pradesh’s Deoria district, police have arrested the main accused, Ram Ashish Yadav, after an encounter in the case involving the killing of pregnant Gudiya Vishwakarma. According to police, the accused was shot in his left leg during the encounter on the morning of 27 October 2026. He was admitted to Rudrapur Community Health Centre for treatment, while one of his associates escaped.
Police said Gudiya Vishwakarma was found dead on the night of 25 October in government quarters on the Rudrapur Community Health Centre premises. It is alleged that she was killed by strangulation and by blows with a hammer. On a complaint from her parental family, a case was registered under relevant sections, including dowry death, against her husband, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, mother-in-law, sister of her husband and others.
According to the initial police investigation, Satya Prakash Yadav of the Gagaha area of Gorakhpur allegedly planned the murder. For this, a deal was allegedly fixed for Rs 3 lakh with Ram Ashish Yadav and his associate Naresh. Police claim Ram Ashish had already taken Rs 2.5 lakh and was going to collect the remaining Rs 50,000. These allegations are yet to be confirmed through investigation and judicial process.
Deoria Superintendent of Police Ajit R. Shankar said that during routine checking, an attempt was made to stop two suspects riding a motorcycle. Police allege that the two opened fire and tried to flee. In retaliatory action, Ram Ashish was injured. His associate escaped from the spot and the search for him is continuing.
Police are investigating the murder conspiracy, the alleged contract killing and the role of other accused in the case. Along with the search for the absconding accused, the process of collecting evidence is also continuing.
