A wave of shock gripped the Sanwal Colony neighbourhood of Jaisalmer city on Saturday following the discovery of a mother and her teenage son dead under mysterious conditions inside their residential property. The deceased have been identified as 38-year-old Sonu Kanwar and her 16-year-old son, Dakshvardhan. The woman's body was discovered lying inside a room located on the ground floor of the house, while her son was found hanging from a noose in an upper-floor room. The tragic finding quickly drew local residents to the scene, causing widespread panic and sorrow throughout the surrounding locality.
Police and Forensic Experts Examine Crime Scene to Collect Clues
Upon discovering the bodies, neighbours and local residents immediately alerted the Kotwali police station. Responding swiftly to the alert, a police team arrived at the residence to cordone off the premises and begin initial inspections. Considering the severity of the double death, Circle Officer Roop Singh also arrived at the site to personally oversee the proceedings and coordinate the inspection. To ensure that technical and physical clues were properly handled, a Forensic Science Laboratory team was called to the location. Forensic specialists carefully examined both rooms to gather crucial fingerprints, marks, and other material evidence before the police took formal custody of both bodies to proceed with legal formalities and post-mortem procedures.
Family Head Had Died in Road Accident Three Years Ago
Details regarding the background of the household revealed that Sonu Kanwar's husband had passed away approximately three years earlier in a fatal road crash. Following that sudden loss of the family head, the mother and her son Dakshvardhan had been living together in the Sanwal Colony house on their own. The sudden and unexplained deaths of both surviving family members three years after that road mishap have left the local community searching for answers. Authorities note that there is currently no official confirmation regarding whether the household was dealing with severe financial hardship, domestic distress, or any other underlying issues.
Comprehensive Investigation Underway Across Multiple Angles
Investigating officers from the Kotwali police are presently examining every plausible dimension of the case to reconstruct the exact sequence of events. Officials are relying on the evidence recovered by the forensic team alongside forthcoming medical autopsy results to ascertain the exact cause and manner of death. Whether external factors contributed to the situation or how the dual fatalities transpired will be definitively confirmed only once the official inquiry concludes. In the meantime, an atmosphere of deep sorrow and disbelief lingers over Sanwal Colony as residents await clarity from the ongoing investigation.
