Debt-ridden man ends life after killing wife, kids in Jaripatka

A 40-YEAR-OLD man allegedly killed his wife and two children by stabbing them with a sharp-edged-weapon and then died by suicide at his rented house in Jaripatka area on Tuesday. The man was reportedly depressed over losing a huge amount of money in cricket betting, police officials said.

The deceased was identified as Madan Agrawal, his wife Kiran (33), son Rishabh (10) and daughter Toshita alias Tiya (5), all residents of housing board society, near Dayanand Park, Jaripatka. 

Police are suspecting that the alleged murder-suicide took place in the intervening night of Monday and Tuesday. “As per preliminary investigations, Madan might have killed his wife first by slitting her throat and later stabbed the children to death,” a senior official said.

Soon after, Madan hanged himself from a ceiling fan with a nylon rope, said police. Cops also recovered a big knife from the spot.

The deceased man was reportedly involved in cricket betting and had accumulated huge debts after facing losses.

The shocking incident came to fore at 3.30 pm on Tuesday when a friend of Madan went to the house. He knocked on the door repeatedly and also dialled his mobile number. When there was no response he suspected something amiss and called the neighbours. They entered the house after breaking the door and were shocked to see the spine-chilling scene in the house. The children and wife were lying in a pool of blood in the bedroom and the body of Madan was dangling from a ceiling fan, informed a police official of Jaripatka police station.

The gruesome murder-suicide took place in the bedroom where body of Kiran was lying on one bed and children were found dead on another bed. As no blood stains were not found on the floor, police are suspecting that the three were hacked to death when they were in deep sleep. After spotting an injury on the wrist of Kiran, a police official claimed that she might have resisted Madan. “Her wrist might have been cut when she was resisting Madan,” the official claimed.

After allegedly committing the murders, the man hanged himself from a ceiling fan with a rope. “He used a bucket to hang self from the ceiling fan,” the official informed. Police did not find any suicide note from the spot till late in the night. The deceased’s mobile was seized and sent to cyber cell for further investigations.

Addl CP (North Region) Navinchandra Reddy, Addl CP (Crime) Sunil Phulari, DCP Zone V Manish Kalwania, ACP (Jaripatka) Santosh Khandekar visited to the spot to oversee the investigation.

A case under Section 302 of Indian Penal Code was registered by Jaripatka police.

Bank had seized Madan’s house 

The locals informed reporters that Madan was operating one of the famous Chinese food stalls near Dayanand Park. However, he was under financial trouble due to his addiction to cricket betting. His house was seized by bank last year for not paying installments of the loan. He then shifted to a rented house in the same locality.

A local claimed that Madan had a debt of around Rs 90 lakh. On Monday night, Madan’s elder brother Amit had transferred Rs 1500/- to him on the former’s request. Amit resides in Tulsi Nagar near Shanti Nagar where he runs a grocery shop.

Amrut Nimje, the landlord of Madan’s rented house, said that he never thought such a shocking act would be committed by Madan. “He was looking like a normal and sensible person,” he said. A relative of Madan alleged that the addiction of cricket betting was the main reason behind the alleged murder-suicide.

IGP Prasanna : The man who stopped Obama’s convoy

IGP Mallikarjuna Prasanna By Dheeraj Fartode  Published on Feb/17/2019 NOT many are aware of an episode during the then US President Barack Obama’s visit to India in 2010. The world’s most powerful man was made to wait for 11 minutes in his car while an Indian cop took on American officials for their unwarranted interference in the US President’s security. KM Mallikarjuna Prasanna, Special Inspector General of Police of Nagpur Range, still continues to work with the same pride, wearing his patriotism on the sleeve. “Had they (Americans) deployed their personnel for area security, then the message would have been Indians are unable to protect VIPs in their nation,” recounted Prasanna on the episode that is one of the highlights of his distinguished career of a skillful investigator. The story of the IPS officer of 2000 batch is worth a film. In fact, a movie (Nagarjun-starrer ‘Officer’) has already been made by Ram Gopal Verma last year. His real life script als...

Longest cable-stayed bridge to boost tourism at Ambhora

CONSTRUCTION work of 700-metre-long cable-stayed bridge, longest in the country, with a viewing gallery at the top at Ambhora in Kuhi tehsil is near completion. The bridge would be open for traffic in December this year providing a major boost to tourism at Shree Chaitanyeshwar Mahadev temple at Ambhora. It is set to open doors of development for the backward area of Kuhi and Umred tehsil. Ambhora, located 75 km from Nagpur city, is a famous religious and tourist place in Vidarbha. It is situated at the confluence of five rivers -- Wainganga, Kanhan, Aam, Kolari and Murza. Just around a decade ago the river bank housing Ambhora used to see a flux of tourists from all over the State. However, the banks were submerged in water after the construction of Gosikhurd dam which led to rise in water levels. Since then, tourist flow at Ambhora has also declined. However, now with the construction of the new bridge tourists will get a chance see the scenic backwaters across the river bed which is...
