Bareilly (UP): A 42-year-old woman sub-inspector was brutally killed in a transit hostel adjacent to the Police Lines, police said on Wednesday.

After getting no response when he called out, Varma peeped inside only to find the SI lying on the floor with her head severely injured.

DIG Rajesh Kumar Pandey said police are investigating the case from all angles.

In another incident, a 22-year-old pregnant woman succumbed to her injuries after she was allegedly being thrashed by her maternal uncle and his wife.

According to reports, the deceased identified as Aarti, who is seven months pregnant was a resident of Bahraich and lived with her husband Shubham in a shanty in Vijayant Khand.

The alleged incident saw the light of the day when the woman's husband Shubham had registered a complaint against the uncle Hukum Singh and his wife Meenu. In his complaint, he had alleged that the duo was against his small business of eggs cart which is stationed at the Vijay Khand over-bridge.
