A deeply distressing incident has unfolded in Hajipur, Bihar, where four members of a single family consumed a toxic substance following severe domestic turmoil, resulting in the tragic deaths of three individuals. A young girl who survived the incident remains in critical condition and is currently receiving medical treatment at a hospital.
Shocking Event in Premraj Village
The harrowing incident took place within the jurisdiction of the Goraul police station area in Premraj village. According to local authorities, the deceased have been identified as 55-year-old Nirmala Devi, 35-year-old Seema Devi, and 12-year-old Munna Kumar. Meanwhile, a 15-year-old girl is fighting for her life, with medical professionals closely monitoring her critical condition.
Dispute Over Sale of Ancestral Land
Initial inquiries indicate that the house originally belonged to Shyamnandan Singh. Following his demise, his only son, Rahul, chose not to engage in any employment or regular work. Instead, he persistently sold off ancestral land parcels and squandered the proceeds on reckless activities. Although family members continuously opposed these actions, Rahul disregarded their pleas.
Discovery at the Registry Office Triggers Conflict
Amidst ongoing tensions, Rahul executed another land sale last Saturday. When his wife, Seema, discovered this development, she obtained copies of the documents from the registry office and confronted him about selling the property. Angered by her opposition, Rahul assaulted both his mother and wife before fleeing the house. Overwhelmed by the situation, the mother and wife consumed poison that night and administered it to the children as well.
Police and Forensic Investigation Underway
Upon learning of the tragedy, villagers rushed to the scene and alerted law enforcement. Goraul police station SHO Sunil Kumar arrived at the location along with a police team to assess the situation. A Forensic Science Laboratory team also reached the spot to gather scientific evidence. SHO Sunil Kumar stated that prima facie the case appears to be one of suicide, and a comprehensive investigation is currently underway.
Bodies to Be Handed Over After Post-Mortem
The authorities have sent the bodies for post-mortem examinations. Once the autopsies are completed, the remains will be handed over to the grieving relatives for final funeral rites. Investigators are examining every possible angle surrounding this devastating occurrence.
