JAIPUR: In a highly complex case, Jaipur police have found a suicide-cum-murder case in Jawahar Circle police station area where a man found dead near Malviya Nagar overbridge, while his wife was found dead at their home in the same locality on Tuesday.
The man was identified as Rajkumar Dhudhani, while his wife was identified as Laxmi Dhudhani. The couple was in their mid-60s.
Mahendra Kumar Sharma, circle officer, Malviya Nagar said, “Rajkumar’s body was found near Malviya Nagar Puliya (overbridge) on Tuesday morning. His arm was broken and it appeared that he had been walking and hit by a vehicle. His body was taken to the hospital and while searching his clothes, we found a key to his house. On reaching there, we found the body of his wife Laxmi on the bed.”
The cops reached the Dhudhani’s house around 8 pm on Tuesday and found that the door was locked from outside. On entering, they saw Laxmi’s body on the bed who had been dead for a while.
“The couple had no children and lived in very small accommodation. We found that the door was locked from outside and even found Rajkumar’s bloodied clothes. His wife was bedridden for quite a while now due to various ailments,” added the official.
Rajkumar also had a note in his pocket which led the cops to investigate the possibility that it was a case of suicide and murder. Sharma, elaborating on this aspect said, “It appears that Rajkumar killed his wife by slitting her wrists and then committed suicide by walking in front of a vehicle. The note found on him says that the duo will be together forever and even in next birth. The post-mortem of the two bodies will give us the exact cause of death. At present, the scenario of suicide and murder is the one which is making most sense.”
