In Narola village of Jhabua, on January 28, a minor wife strangled her husband to death. She made a noose out of the turban worn during the wedding. A new revelation has come to light in this case. After the incident, the accused adorned herself like a bride in front of the dead body to attend a wedding. She also drank beer. After this, she danced vigorously with women amidst the groom sitting on the horse in the wedding procession. When her niece asked her to wake up her uncle, she told her – ‘He is sleeping, let him sleep.’ A video of her dancing with a veil in the wedding procession after the incident has also surfaced. The short post-mortem report also confirmed death by strangulation. Police have arrested the accused. Meanwhile, the family members have raised questions about the character of the accused minor. They say that she cannot do this alone. Someone else might also be involved in the murder. Dainik Bhaskar’s team reached Narola village. Read the report… Grief spread in the village after the incident
Narola village is about 55 kilometers away from Jhabua district headquarters. The population is about two thousand. For the past three days, people here have been watching two videos of a 17-year-old bride dancing at her wedding on their mobiles. The first is from the night of January 27, and the second from the morning of January 28. After this, grief has now spread in the wedding village. The difference in the shooting time of both videos is also about eight hours, but what happened in between is shocking. One day before the incident
Date – January 27, Time – 9 PM
There was a wedding of Bunty, son of tribal farmer Thawarsingh Mal, in the village. One day before the baraat (wedding procession) was to leave, after completing the Mamera ritual, the family and community members had drinks, then ate food. In this feast, along with the women, the 16-year-old minor bride also participated with her husband Kailash, who was nine years older than her. She lovingly called her husband ‘Nana’. They ate food. They danced vigorously to the DJ’s tunes with everyone until late at night. The wedding procession was to leave in the morning, so the elders of the house asked the children to stop dancing and singing and go to sleep. A little later, everyone went to their respective homes. Kailash also came with his wife. As soon as they reached home, a loud argument started between the two. Kailash’s nephew Vikram Mal says that his uncle and aunt used to argue about something or the other every day. We didn’t pay much attention. Now the next day
January 28, Time 9:30 AM
Thawarsingh’s family members were preparing to go to the wedding procession. A mare and a DJ had arrived in front of the house. Soon the DJ started playing. The family members quickly started getting ready after breakfast. Meanwhile, on the other side, there is silence in Kailash’s house. His minor wife was doing her makeup to go to the wedding procession. Just then, his niece arrived to call Uncle Kailash. She told her aunt that Grandpa was calling Uncle. The aunt, gesturing for her to be quiet, says that her uncle has refused. He is sleeping. He won’t go to the wedding procession. Don’t wake him up, or he will fight with me. Come, help me wear my saree. With her niece’s help, the aunt got ready, adorned herself like a new bride, and reached the wedding house. Upon arriving there, Kailash’s wife first drinks beer. She started dancing with the other women of the family who were dancing to the DJ’s tunes. January 28, Morning – 11 AM
When Kailash’s elder sister Leela asked his wife where Nana was, she said he was coming. A little later, when he didn’t arrive, Leela went to his house. When she reached her brother’s house, Kailash was found lying on the ground, covered with a blanket. Leela tried to wake him up. When there was no movement in his body, she removed the blanket and touched him, finding his body cold. His pulse was also not beating. Leela ran to her uncle’s house, where the wedding was taking place. Here, she informed them about Kailash. While Leela was talking about Kailash, Kailash’s minor wife was dancing. As soon as she heard Leela’s words, she ran home and started crying loudly. Police arrived after about an hour. After forensic examination, the body was sent for post-mortem. The next day, police arrested the deceased’s minor wife on charges of murder. Marriage took place seven months ago
Kailash’s nephew, Vikram Mal, says he doesn’t think his aunt could do this alone. Uncle Kailash was also quite strong and well-built. If she were alone, he would have just thrown her aside. Someone else must definitely be involved in this. Vikram says that both of them got married only in the last days of June last year. It’s only been 6-7 months. Fights had started since the marriage. Both went to Morbi, Gujarat, to work. There, his aunt became friends with a young man. When Uncle Kailash came to know about this, he brought Auntie back to the village. After this, Auntie tried to run away from home twice. Once, Auntie went to Morbi saying she was going to relieve herself. When we found out, we brought her back. A few days later, she ran away from home again. She was nowhere to be found. When we finally reached the railway station around 12 AM, she ran away upon seeing us. We barely managed to catch her with the help of the police. After this, her family members also came. They also tried to make her understand. It is not true that there was a fight over making reels, as is being reported. Mukesh, the cousin of the deceased Kailash, stated that he had seen Kailash until 2 AM. He was serving food to people. After that, it was a wedding atmosphere, so no one paid attention. Kailash’s sister-in-law, Sharda, says that her brother’s wife kept dancing until 2 AM. Even when she came dressed up to dance in front of her brother’s dead body in the morning, no one suspected anything. Niece said – She took my help to wear the saree
His niece Biju, who lives in another part of Kailash’s house, says – In the morning, before the baraat left, I went to uncle’s house. At that time, where Kailash uncle was sleeping, auntie was doing her makeup standing near his feet. She asked me to help her wear the saree. I said to wake uncle up for the baraat, but she refused. She said – Uncle has refused to go. After that, we came to the wedding house. Sister said – When I touched him, brother was stiff
Kailash’s elder sister Leela says that her brother was cheerful despite being strict. He was always at the forefront of any family work. That day I saw my sister-in-law drinking beer and dancing. I asked where Nana was. She said he was coming. I felt strange. I went to my brother’s house. He was lying on a mattress on the floor, covered with a blanket. He never slept for so long. I tried to wake him up by saying Nana-Nana two or three times, but it had no effect. After that, I shook him, but there was no movement. When I removed the blanket and put my hand on his body, it was completely cold, and when I moved his feet, they were stiff. The ground slipped from under my feet. I ran back to my uncle’s house. A DJ was playing there, so I shouted loudly and told everyone the whole story. Everyone ran home. Nephew said – Aunt cannot kill alone
Finally, Kailash’s nephew Vikram said – When I reached my uncle’s house, I saw that the whole family, including my aunt, was gathered. My aunt was crying the loudest. I saw my uncle’s dead body, there were abrasion marks on his neck and scratches on his cheek. I asked my aunt why she killed him. My aunt cannot kill alone, there must be another person with her. We want whoever is involved in this matter to be caught.
