Neighbour accused of murder

As per source, the murder of Pooja Maurya and her daughter Pallavi was the result of a long-standing property dispute between them and a neighbour Jitendra Jariya 

It is said the plot belonged to Jitendra, but Pooja Maurya had also invested money in building the house. This led to ongoing arguments between the two, especially over vacating the house.
