According to sources, Rakhi had reportedly disappeared from home a few days ago, which led Suraj to suspect her of being involved in an extramarital relationship. Upon her return, tensions between the couple escalated. On Thursday, the arguments intensified, culminating in Suraj allegedly striking Rakhi on the head with a heavy object in a fit of rage, resulting in her death.
After committing the crime, Suraj took Rakhi to a nearby hospital, claiming she had fallen from the third floor of their building. However, bloodstains found at the scene of the crime raised suspicions among the police. Upon further investigation, it was revealed that Rakhi’s death was not caused by a fall but by severe head injuries inflicted intentionally.
As soon as the police received information about the incident, they dispatched a team to the hospital and the crime scene. Initial findings confirmed foul play, leading to Suraj’s arrest. Following the murder, Suraj attempted to flee with his children, but police apprehended him within hours. He is currently in custody, and further investigations are underway.
The Hudkeshwar police have registered a case of murder and are continuing with the legal proceedings. This incident has left the local community in shock, highlighting the tragic consequences of unresolved domestic disputes.
