Rajkot: A man is suspected to have strangled his paramour before committing suicide in Rangeela Society of Nava Gam locality in Rajkot on Monday.
The victims, identified as Naran Jhakhelia and Kajal Makwana, aged 25 years, knew each other before their marriages. While Jhakhelia had divorced his wife and was living alone, Makwana used to live with her husband and three children, said cops.
“Jhakhelia was found hanging from the ceiling fan of Makwana’s house, while Makwana’s body was lying on the bed. It is suspected that Jhakhelia had first killed Makwana before hanging himself,” said M C Vala, inspector with Kuvadava Road police station.
At the time of the incident, Makwana’s two elder daughters were out of the room, while her six-month-old daughter was sleeping in a cradle nearby. Makwana’s husband, Suresh, had gone to his native in Bedla village near Rajkot.
“It is suspected that both the victims had taken the drastic step after realizing that there was no future to their relationship. We will be able to know whether Jhakhelia had strangled Makwana, once her postmortem is conducted,” added Vala.
