Triple death shocks Sagar, mother hangs 2 with sons:Brother alleges husband affair, frequent abuse led to murder; denies suicide theory

In Mainai of Rahli in Sagar, a mother’s body was found hanging along with her two sons at home. In this case, the deceased’s family has made serious allegations against the in-laws. Rajni’s brother accused his brother-in-law Rajesh Lodhi, saying that the brother-in-law had a relationship with his own sister-in-law. His sister had found out about this. There were frequent disputes between them over this matter. During these disputes, brother-in-law Rajesh would abuse and beat his sister. The husband’s torture became the cause of death for the sister and her two innocent sons. We suspect that the in-laws killed my sister and her two sons because when we reached home, all three bodies were placed on the ground. Attempts were made to talk to the in-laws about the matter. But they did not respond. Dainik Bhaskar reached the village to learn about this tragic incident and spoke with the family, read the report… First read the sequence of events

We returned around 9:45 at night. We both went to our respective rooms. Rajesh screamed as soon as he entered the room. I ran to his room. There I saw my sister-in-law Rachana wife of Rajesh Lodhi (32), nephew Rishabh Lodhi (5) and Ram Lodhi (2) hanging from separate nooses. Immediately both of us cut the ropes and brought them down from the nooses, but by then all three had died. The family has no knowledge of why they took such a step of suicide.

Brother-in-law’s elder brother had died about one and a half years ago due to illness. Brother-in-law Rajesh had developed a relationship with his sister-in-law. Rachana found out about this and informed family members. Upon learning of the matter, several attempts were made to counsel them. They sat down to talk and give advice, but the situation could not be controlled. To hide their misdeeds, they killed the sister and her children. A day before the incident, Rachana had spoken to her elder uncle when we had gone to Khurai for a family function.

Sister-in-law Priyanshi Lodhi said that sister-in-law Rachna lived with us. We knew her well, she cannot commit suicide. She has been murdered. She had told about her relationship with brother-in-law. This is the main reason for the sequence of events. Brother-in-law would abuse and beat her every day. He would say he was going from home to field, but he would stay at home. If we had known something like this, we would have brought sister-in-law Rachna home. There were red and blue marks on the body Rachana’s brother alleged that when we reached home, sister Rachana and the children’s bodies were on the ground.
