MEERUT : A man accused of murdering his first wife, father and mother to claim insurance worth Rs 50 crore has been arrested in Hapur, Uttar Pradesh , after his fourth wife alerted police about a series of suspicious deaths in the family.
Vishal Singhal , 37, had already received Rs 1.5 crore in claims and was attempting to file more when police detained him along with his alleged accomplice. Singhal, a resident of Gangangar in Meerut, had convinced his fourth wife, Shreya, to sign multiple high-value life insurance policies.

When her concerns were dismissed by local police in Meerut, she reached out to the Sambhal police , who were already investigating fraud cases involving staged deaths across 11 states.
