After her husband died suspiciously, police investigations revealed that Pooja had him killed so she could start a relationship with his younger brother, Kalyan Singh.
She soon moved in with Kalyan, but tragedy struck again when he died under mysterious circumstances as well.
Instead of stopping, Pooja began living with Kalyan's elder brother, Santosh Singh, further raising suspicions about her true intentions.

The situation turned even darker when Pooja, along with her sister and her new lover Anil, plotted the murder of her mother-in-law, Sushila Devi.
The motive behind the brutal crime was greed: Pooja wanted control of 8 bighas of land in her late husband's name, but Sushila strongly opposed transferring the property to her.

After killing Sushila, the group stole jewelry worth ₹8 lakh and fled the scene. However, police quickly arrested Pooja Jatav and her sister. Anil managed to escape initially, but he was later caught during a police encounter in which he was shot in the leg and taken into custody.
Authorities have condemned the murders as cruel and premeditated, highlighting how lust for property led to multiple lives being lost.
Locals in Jhansi expressed horror that someone could resort to such extreme violence against their own family members for land and wealth.
This tragic case serves as a stark warning of how unchecked greed and manipulation can tear families apart and end in irreversible tragedy.
