In Lucknow, a man killed his mother’s abuser after a 10-year search. He planned the murder with friends, celebrated with a liquor party, and was arrested after party photos went viral.
Lucknow | 22 July, 2025: In a chilling act of revenge, a youth in Lucknow ended a decade-long vendetta by murdering a man who had insulted his mother ten years ago.
The accused, Sonu Kashyap, had been relentlessly searching for a man named Manoj, who had allegedly assaulted and humiliated his mother a decade ago before fleeing the locality. Fueled by deep-seated rage and a vow to avenge the insult, Sonu’s pursuit finally ended in bloodshed.
About three months ago, fate intervened when Sonu spotted Manoj in the Munshi Pulia area. From that moment, he meticulously began tracking Manoj’s daily routine and hatched a murder plan with the help of four close friends.
What’s more disturbing is that Sonu lured his friends into the crime by promising a liquor party after the killing. On May 22, as Manoj closed his shop for the day, Sonu and his gang ambushed him, bludgeoning him to death with an iron rod.
Although CCTV footage captured the brutal attack, the identities of the attackers remained unclear initially. But what gave them away were viral photos from the liquor party that Sonu had hosted post-murder. These images, circulated on social media, became key leads in the police investigation.
Treating the matter with urgency, the Lucknow police tracked down and arrested all five accused. The case has shaken the city and spotlighted the dangers of long-harbored revenge and the lengths to which emotional wounds can drive individuals.
While the incident may seem straight out of a Bollywood crime thriller, it starkly reflects real-life consequences when personal vendettas spiral into criminal acts.
