**Tragic Murder of Anupam Pandey: A Sister’s Fight for Justice**

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Anupam Pandey, 26, was an MTech student at IIIT Allahabad (now Prayagraj) and a resident of Lucknow. Known as a calm and obedient son and a loving brother, Anupam’s life was tragically cut short under mysterious circumstances.

Anupam married Mansi Dwivedi from Bhopal on January 23, 2013, in an arranged marriage. Before the wedding, he had asked Mansi if she truly wanted to proceed, and she assured him she was happy.

However, just a month after the wedding, on February 23, Anupam stepped out of his hostel around 9 PM to withdraw cash from a nearby ATM. Minutes later, he was found lying stabbed eight times on the road. Notably, his wallet and phone were untouched, ruling out robbery as a motive.

Initial investigations by the Dhoomanganj police station found no clear motive for the murder. Suspicion soon fell on Mansi, whom Anupam had spoken to just before leaving. Phone records and messages revealed that Mansi was in frequent contact with Pradeep Sharma, a resident of Bhopal. On the night of the murder, the two communicated constantly.

Further inquiry uncovered that Mansi had informed Pradeep of Anupam’s movements. Pradeep then followed Anupam near the ATM and stabbed him to death. Police were able to trace both Mansi and Pradeep to Bhopal and promptly arrested them.

During questioning, both Mansi and Pradeep admitted their involvement in the crime. It was revealed that Mansi had been in a relationship with Pradeep before her marriage and chose to help plan her husband’s killing rather than end the affair.

### Sister Fights for Justice

Anupam’s elder sister, Anuja Pandey, has launched an online campaign and petition demanding justice for her brother. She has shared call recordings and Facebook messages linking Mansi and Pradeep to the murder, bringing public attention to the case and ensuring sustained pressure on investigators.

The family and supporters continue to fight relentlessly to ensure that justice is served in this tragic case.
