In 2023, a shocking incident unfolded in the Jogiyon Ki Dadi area of Barmer district, Rajasthan, leaving the local community in disbelief. The case revolved around a dispute between two individuals living in the same household, which escalated into a murder accusation.
According to police records, 50-year-old Malaram Jogi had been in a live-in relationship with his younger brother's wife, Pawni, for nearly three years. Malaram's first wife had passed away, leaving him with eight children. Subsequently, he began living with his brother's wife, with whom he had four children. They were reportedly cohabiting as if they were married.
On the night of the incident, a heated argument broke out between the two. Initial investigations revealed that during the dispute, Malaram allegedly struck the woman. The altercation intensified, and according to police, Pawni grabbed Malaram's sensitive areas, causing him to fall and sustain severe internal injuries. He was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Upon receiving the information, the police from the local station arrived at the scene, seized the body, and sent it for an autopsy while initiating an investigation.
