Alwar, Jun 18: In a spine-chilling incident that has shocked Rajasthan’s Alwar district, a nine-year-old boy has emerged as the key witness in the brutal murder of his father, allegedly orchestrated by his own mother along with her lover and hired contract killers.
The gruesome crime occurred on the night of June 7 in the Kherli area. The victim, Veeru alias Man Singh Jatav, was initially claimed to have died of a sudden illness by his wife, Anita. However, the narrative took a dark turn when their young son bravely narrated the real sequence of events to the police.
According to the child, his mother Anita left the main gate of their house unlocked. Around midnight, five men, including a person he identified as “Kashi Uncle” — later revealed to be Kashiram Prajapat, Anita’s alleged lover — entered their home. The boy, who was lying nearby pretending to be asleep, silently witnessed the chilling scene unfold.
“I saw my mother opening the door. Kashi Uncle and others entered quietly. They went straight to my father’s bed. They started beating him and twisted his legs. Kashi Uncle smothered him with a pillow. My mother just stood there and watched. When I tried to reach for my father, Kashi Uncle picked me up, scolded me, and threatened me,” the boy told police.
Veeru died soon after the assault, and the accused fled the scene.
Preliminary police investigations have revealed that Anita and Kashiram were allegedly involved in an extramarital relationship. Kashiram, a kachori vendor, frequently visited Anita’s general store in Kherli. Their closeness turned into a sinister conspiracy, as the duo allegedly hired four contract killers for Rs 2 lakh to eliminate Veeru.
On the fateful night, Anita allegedly facilitated the murder by leaving the door open. Kashiram, along with the hired killers, arrived on a motorcycle and carried out the attack while Veeru was fast asleep.
The following morning, Anita claimed that Veeru had died of a sudden health issue. However, inconsistencies in her version and visible injuries on the body, including a broken tooth and signs of suffocation, raised suspicion. A post-mortem confirmed that it was a case of murder.
Based on a complaint filed by Veeru’s brother, Gabbar Jatav, the police launched a full-scale investigation. Reviewing over 100 CCTV footage clips and analysing phone records, authorities managed to arrest Anita, Kashiram, and one contract killer, Brijesh Jatav. A manhunt is underway to nab the remaining three accused.
The chilling testimony of the young boy has been central to cracking the case, making it not only a heartbreaking tale of betrayal but also one of remarkable courage.
