In the confines of Lawyers Colony, New Agra, a lamentable incident unfolded on Saturday night as Jolly Chauhan, a pipe merchant, orchestrated the tragic demise of his 12-year-old son, Kushagra, and his ailing mother, Brijesh Devi, before succumbing to his own demise by hanging. The morose tale came to light when the domestic help, after persistent doorbell ringing, received no response from Chauhan’s residence, prompting her to seek assistance from vigilant neighbors who promptly alerted the authorities.
Responding swiftly, the police breached the door, revealing the lifeless forms of Chauhan, Kushagra, and Brijesh Devi. Preliminary assessments suggested a prima facie scenario where Chauhan, driven by financial losses in his pipe merchant venture, took the extreme step of suicide after perpetrating the heinous acts against his kin. The motives behind this distressing event remain shrouded in mystery, awaiting further investigation.
Deputy Commissioner of Police City, Suraj Rai, elucidated, “The bodies have been transferred to the hospital for post-mortem. Chauhan’s criminal actions stemmed from the profound distress inflicted by business setbacks.”
The crime, it appears, was meticulously premeditated, as evidenced by a video discovered by the police, wherein Chauhan articulated his financial woes and the overwhelming stress that propelled him towards contemplating self-destruction and the annihilation of his family. The authorities, in their meticulous inquiry, have yet to unearth the underlying motives steering this tragic course of events.
The investigative efforts were augmented by a dog squad and forensic team, meticulously collecting evidentiary fragments from the scene. Chauhan’s recorded confessions pointed towards a calculated plan to orchestrate the murder-suicide, sparing only his wife, Rajni, who fortuitously found herself outside in the company of her sister-in-law during the fateful episode. Notably, Chauhan’s father had passed away seven months prior, adding a layer of complexity to this harrowing tale, according to police sources.
