Yes, you can file for divorce, but you cannot do so solely based on the criminal background or ongoing murder case against your in-laws. Under Indian family law, an active criminal case or conviction involving your wife’s family members is not an explicit, independent ground for divorce

The mere fact that the wife's father or brother are accused in a murder case does not, by itself, ordinarily constitute an independent ground for divorce against the wife. The alleged criminal conduct of her family members cannot automatically be attributed to the wife. However, if the wife or her family members knowingly and deliberately suppressed a material fact before the marriage, and such suppression has materially affected the marital relationship, the possibility of seeking appropriate matrimonial relief may be examined depending upon the facts and applicable personal law. The following facts should be verified: Whether the wife's father and brother are actually accused in the alleged murder case. Whether the wife herself was aware of the case before the marriage. Whether there was any deliberate concealment or false representation before the marriage. Whether the alleged concealment has caused serious matrimonial consequences. Whether there is sufficient documentary or other evidence to establish the alleged suppression. Therefore, divorce cannot be claimed merely because the wife's relatives are accused in a murder case. The FIR, charge sheet, marriage documents and evidence regarding the alleged concealment should be examined before deciding whether any ground for divorce or other matrimonial remedy is available. The exact legal position may also depend upon the personal law applicable to the parties and the specific facts of the case.

Suppression of facts regarding criminal accusations against family members does not automatically amount to legal fraud or cruelty that justifies annulment or dissolution of marriage because the charges are not against your spouse directly ​For seeking a valid divorce or annulment you must prove statutory grounds such as cruelty desertion adultery mental instability or fraud directly concerning the personal character or legal status of your spouse ​If these external family issues lead to severe mental torture harassment or marital breakdown created directly by your spouse then you can file divorce case

!you can file a divorce but the court is a bit difficult to grant divorce because your wife has not done any cruelty against you. Better you have to wait for your wife's behavioural understanding. You have one more option to request your wife to get a mutual divorce.
