A shocking incident of brutal violence rattled Pilani town in Jhunjhunu district on Sunday night, centered around a dispute involving a live-in relationship. The victim, identified as 33-year-old Rajesh alias Sonu Kumawat alias Michael, was attacked inside his home in ward number 18 by a man named Satish Jat, who allegedly used a knife to inflict multiple stab wounds. The severely injured man was rushed for medical attention, where he succumbed to his injuries during treatment. Following the attack, family members managed to overpower the assailant on the spot and handed him straight over to the local police.
Accused Scaled the Wall to Enter the House
According to available details, Satish Jat, a resident near Rani Sati Temple, reached the house of Rajesh in ward number 18 at around 10 PM on Sunday night. Reports state that instead of entering through the main door, he scaled the boundary wall to break into the premises and immediately launched a sharp weapon attack on the victim. Hearing the sudden commotion and screams, family members rushed to the spot and successfully restrained the attacker. Seriously wounded in the assault, Sonu was initially taken to a private hospital in Pilani, but due to his worsening condition, he was referred to Jhunjhunu. However, he passed away while undergoing treatment.
Enmity Stemming from Living with the Woman
The deceased Rajesh alias Sonu Kumawat alias Michael earned his livelihood through manual labor. He had been living for about six months with a young woman who hailed from West Bengal. Investigations indicate that the woman was previously married to the accused Satish Jat, but she left him roughly six months prior to start living with Rajesh. This exact situation triggered deep animosity and rivalry between the two men. It has come to light that they had engaged in heated arguments even before this fatal attack. Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased maintain that Rajesh had actually married the woman six months ago.
Police Action and Inspection by Authorities
Upon receiving information about the crime, police forces arrived promptly at the location and took the accused Satish Jat into custody. During the scuffle when family members apprehended him, the accused sustained injuries as well and was subsequently admitted to a hospital for treatment. The accused is said to be a driver by profession. Senior officials including Chirawa CO Gaurav Gurjar and Pilani CI Alka Bishnoi inspected the crime scene thoroughly. Police are conducting further investigations based on a formal complaint filed by the victim's father. The body will be handed over to the grieving family after completing the post-mortem examination and other necessary legal formalities.
