Celebrations turned into profound tragedy in Banswara district when a festive night transformed into a scene of unimaginable violence. While families across the region were immersed in Diwali festivities and performing Lakshmi Puja inside their homes, a dark domestic dispute inside one household erupted into fatal brutality. Blinded by rage, a father subjected his two innocent toddlers to vicious physical abuse, resulting in the tragic death of his youngest son and sending shockwaves through the local community.
Incident Reported in Juni Timbi Village Under Anandpuri Police Station
According to local police authorities, this horrific incident unfolded on Diwali night within the jurisdiction of the Anandpuri police station in Banswara district. The fatal confrontation broke out in Juni Timbi village during a family altercation, claiming the life of a two-year-old boy and leaving his three-year-old brother injured. Immediately after committing the act, the accused father fled the scene. In response, law enforcement authorities formed four dedicated teams to track down the suspect, following a formal complaint filed by the victim's mother.
The bloody violence following Diwali also echoed in Dholpur, where a 22-year-old youth was shot in the head inside his home.
Accused Started a Quarrel With His Wife
In her detailed report submitted to the police, 25-year-old Sunita Pargi stated that her husband, Khemraj, returned home on November 8 at approximately 10 PM and immediately initiated a heated argument with her. When she protested his aggressive behavior, he turned his wrath upon their young sons, Vasan, aged 3, and Ilesh, aged 2, beginning to beat them mercilessly. Sunita explained that when she attempted to intervene to protect her children and calm her husband down, he assaulted her as well, forcing her in sheer terror to flee into an adjoining room.
Mother Found Her Son Unconscious
Left alone with the toddlers, the accused escalated his violence by grabbing his two-year-old son Ilesh and slamming him violently onto the floor before fleeing the premises. Hearing the heavy thud and commotion, Sunita rushed back into the room only to find little Ilesh lying completely unconscious. The brutal assault had also left their older son, Vasan, with significant injuries. She rushed both children to a local hospital, where attending doctors pronounced Ilesh dead upon arrival, a devastating pronouncement that shattered the mother completely.
Police arrived at the hospital to gather the sequence of events and subsequently placed the child's body in the mortuary. Sunita alleged that her husband had a history of domestic violence and had subjected her to beatings multiple times in the past. On Tuesday, police completed the post-mortem examination of the deceased child and handed the body over to the grieving family members. Meanwhile, the search for the fugitive father continues with four distinct teams actively pursuing leads as investigators thoroughly examine every aspect of the case.
