Tragic Incident in Rajasthan

In a shocking turn of events in Khairthal, Tijara district of Rajasthan, the body of a young man was discovered inside a blue drum, stirring public outrage. This incident has drawn parallels to the Sahil murder case from Meerut. Following the discovery, the deceased's wife and children went missing, along with the landlord's son. The police have since apprehended the wife and the landlord's son, and both are currently being interrogated.

The victim, identified as Hansraj, also known as Suraj, hailed from Nawadiya Nawajpur in Shahjahanpur district, Uttar Pradesh. He had been working at a brick kiln and had rented a room in Adarsh Colony, Kishangarh Bas, just a month and a half ago, living there with his wife, Lakshmi (also known as Sunita), and their three children.

Investigations revealed that Hansraj's wife was involved in an affair with the landlord's son, Jitendra, who was known for making reels. According to the Deputy SP, the landlord's wife, Mithilesh, and her 14-year-old grandson were present at the house during the investigation.

Mithilesh recounted that Jitendra's wife had passed away 12 years ago. On the day of Janmashtami, she had gone to the market, and upon returning, she found that Hansraj's family and Jitendra were missing. The police were alerted after a foul smell emanated from the house, leading to the discovery of the body in the drum on the terrace.

Upon inspection, police found a stone placed on top of the drum, and it was revealed that salt had been added to the drum to decompose the body. Preliminary investigations indicated that Hansraj had been murdered with a sharp weapon before being placed in the drum. The police have successfully located the deceased's three children, who were found at a brick kiln in Ramgarh, where the wife and landlord's son had fled.
