A shocking incident of late-night arson has emerged from Lambor Badi village, located under the jurisdiction of the Rajgarh (Sadulpur) police station in the Churu district of Rajasthan. A massive fire broke out under suspicious circumstances in two residential properties, quickly escalating into a uncontrollable blaze. The intensity of the fire was so severe that it caused the roofs of approximately ten rooms across the two houses to completely collapse. Following the incident, the victim filed a formal police complaint accusing his own younger brother and sister-in-law of intentionally setting the house on fire with petrol due to an ongoing ancestral property dispute.
The Devastating Arson Incident
On the night of September 26, 2026, a sudden and violent blaze erupted in the quiet village of Lambor Badi. The fire quickly spiraled out of control, spreading rapidly across two neighboring residential structures. The intensity of the heat and flames was so extreme that it caused the roofs of approximately ten rooms across these houses to cave in completely. The night sky was lit by the towering flames, causing widespread panic among the local residents who rushed to assist before official help could arrive. Fortunately, no lives were lost, but the physical destruction was massive.
Serious Allegations of Brotherly Betrayal
Following the disaster, a formal police complaint was filed by Gajendra Singh, the son of Kalyan Singh. Gajendra, who currently resides in Bikaner in a rented accommodation, alleged that his own younger brother, Ravindra Singh, along with Ravindra's wife, Anjali Kanwar, were the masterminds behind the destructive incident. According to Gajendra's statement, he received an urgent phone call on the night of September 26 at around 9:00 PM, informing him that a massive fire had been ignited in the house located right next to Ravindra's residence. Upon receiving the distressing news, Gajendra rushed back to his native village, only to find his ancestral home reduced to ashes and his family's valuable possessions completely destroyed.
Immense Financial and Personal Losses
The physical and financial toll of the arson has been devastating for Gajendra's family. In his detailed complaint to the local authorities, he listed numerous household items that were incinerated in the blaze. The destroyed property included expensive furniture such as beds, sofas, cots, metal trunks, and wooden almirahs. Additionally, essential everyday items like clothes, bedding, and a domestic gas cylinder were entirely consumed by the fire. Crucially, the personal belongings of Gajendra's wife and daughter, which were stored in the rooms, were also burnt to ashes. Beyond the physical destruction, Gajendra has raised suspicions of theft, suggesting that some of his valuable belongings might have been looted from the house before or during the chaotic fire incident.
Underlying Property Dispute and Harassment
The root cause of this extreme step appears to be a bitter, ongoing conflict over family property. Gajendra Singh explicitly stated in his complaint that Ravindra Singh and Anjali Kanwar had been subjecting him to severe mental harassment for a prolonged period. He claimed that the couple intentionally targeted his portion of the house to inflict maximum financial damage and force him out. Gajendra further alleged that this was not an isolated incident of hostility; in the past, his sister-in-law, Anjali Kanwar, had allegedly instigated Ravindra to file several false police complaints against him to damage his reputation and create legal trouble. He has urged the police to conduct a thorough, unbiased investigation into the matter and ensure that the perpetrators face strict legal consequences.
Emergency Response and Ongoing Investigation
When the fire broke out, the local community played a pivotal role in preventing an even greater tragedy. Upon being alerted to the incident, a team from the Rajgarh police station, led by Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Rajkumar, rushed to the village. Together with the brave local villagers, the police officers engaged in a grueling, hours-long operation to contain and eventually douse the raging flames late into the night. Commenting on the progress of the case, Rajgarh Police Station In-charge (SHO) Rajesh Sihag confirmed that a formal complaint has been registered. He stated that the police have launched a comprehensive investigation into the arson and the allegations of property dispute. Legal actions will proceed strictly based on the forensic evidence and testimonies gathered during the inquiry.
