Patna, April 7 (SocialNews.XYZ) Prominent entrepreneur Varun Kumar Singh, son-in-law of former Bihar minister Sanjeev Prasad Tony, on Tuesday, demanded justice and security following the suspicious death of his sister, Khushboo Singh.
Addressing a press conference on Tuesday, Varun alleged that his sister was murdered as part of a conspiracy in Muzaffarpur, just six months after her marriage.
He further claimed that raising his voice has put his life and that of his family members at risk.
He called on the government to constitute a Special Investigation Team (SIT), ensure the immediate arrest of all accused, and provide permanent security cover to his family.
According to Varun, Khushboo Singh was married on June 1, 2025, to Sudhanshu Singh, an NRI residing in the Brahmpura area of Muzaffarpur.
He alleged that during the wedding, the groom’s family demanded a Fortuner car, jewellery worth nearly Rs 1 crore, and Rs 51 lakh in cash as dowry.
He stated that most of the demands were fulfilled except for the car, following which his sister was allegedly subjected to continuous mental and physical harassment.
He further claimed that the demands later escalated to include a flat in Delhi.
Varun stated that on December 26, 2025, he was informed by his brother-in-law’s father that Khushboo had died due to burns and asphyxiation.
However, he raised serious concerns over the circumstances surrounding her death.
He alleged that by the time the family reached Muzaffarpur, police and forensic procedures had already been completed.
Varun further claimed he was not allowed to properly view his sister’s body, which was reportedly missing jewellery, including her mangalsutra.
He also questioned the condition of the room, stating that it did not clearly indicate death due to burns or suffocation.
Varun accused the local police of showing unusual leniency towards the accused and delaying the registration of the complaint.
Varun acknowledged that Khushboo’s husband, Sudhanshu Singh, was arrested following public pressure.
However, he alleged that no substantial action has been taken against the other accused, including the mother-in-law, Mamta Singh and father-in-law, Sanjeev Singh.
He further claimed that the remaining accused were allowed to flee and that attempts are being made to weaken the case.
Varun alleged that he has received repeated threats and that even a life-threatening attack was carried out against him in the presence of security personnel.
He expressed concern that these acts are aimed at preventing him from pursuing justice.
He has submitted formal representations to senior officials, including Deputy Chief Minister and Home Minister Samrat Chaudhary, DGP Vinay Kumar, IG Tirhut Chandan Kushwaha, and SSP Muzaffarpur Kantesh Kumar Mishra.
Varun has demanded a high-level SIT probe, immediate arrest of all accused and permanent government security for his family.
Issuing a stern warning, he stated that if any harm comes to him or his family, the responsibility will lie with the administration and the government.
