The courtyard of Rambaran's house in Bhadohi of Pratapgarh Kotwali Dehat in UP used to resonate with the laughter of three children. On Saturday, there was only weeping and screaming around that house and tears were flowing from the eyes of the people. Everyone's heart was broken on seeing the dead body of the married woman hanging from the noose along with three innocent children.

Grandfather spent 20 lakh rupees to save the lives of children

Sandeep, the only son of Rambaran, who retired from the post of Inspector from CRPF, is a drug addict. He was married to Durgeshwari, a resident of Mawaiya Tikai Ka Purwa of Antu, on 10 November 2022. A few days after the marriage, on 17 August 2023, Durgeshwari gave birth to three children together in a private hospital. All three children were treated by keeping them in the ICU for a month. Rambaran also spent more than 20 lakh rupees in the treatment of the children. Komal stayed at her maternal home for a long time. Two months ago, she came to her in-laws' house from her maternal home.

Happiness ended due to one mistake of the husband

Despite the wrong attitude of her husband, Komal tried to live a happy life with her son Raunak, daughters Ujala and Laxmi and mother-in-law Sunita. Grandmother Sunita kept pampering the three children the entire day on Friday. In the night, Sandeep thrashed his wife and mother. This incident took away the happiness of the family.

On Saturday morning, the bodies of Durgeshwari and three innocent children were found hanging from a noose in a room of the house. Within 12 hours, the courtyard of the house had become deserted without any joy. The laughter of Laxmi and Ujala had also gone silent forever. The father-in-law and mother-in-law kept crying out loud on seeing the dead body of the daughter-in-law along with the innocent children. Tears would start falling from the eyes of anyone who would see the dead body of the married woman along with innocent children hanging from the noose.

This is the whole case

Everyone was shocked by the heart-wrenching incident that happened on Saturday morning in Pratapgarh. A woman, troubled by her drunkard husband, hanged herself along with two daughters and a son. The age of all three children was just one and a half years. All three children were born together. The death of four people together has created a furore in the family. Police reached the spot after getting the information. SP Dr. Anil Kumar also reached the spot and talked to the family members. Sandeep alias Rajteja, son of Rambaran, a resident of Bhadohi village of Kotwali Dehat, is addicted to alcohol. He used to beat his wife after drinking alcohol every day. Troubled by this, his wife Durgaswari (30) hanged herself along with her two innocent daughters Lakshmi and Ujala of one and a half years and innocent son Raunak. When the room did not open for a long time in the morning, the mother-in-law knocked on the door but there was no sound from inside. When the neighbors who reached after hearing the noise broke the door, they were stunned to see the scene inside. A huge crowd of villagers gathered at the spot. Police also reached the spot after getting the information.
