Rajasthan: Four deaths in three days in Karauli city

JAIPUR: A man who went missing three days ago was found dead in a pond in Karauli city on Sunday. This was the fourth body found in a span of three days in the same police station area.
The deceased also included an elderly woman who was found scorched to death on Saturday evening.
While there is no connection between the four deaths, cops are looking at all the incidents as cases of suicide and have started investigations.
The deceased found on Sunday was identified as 30-year-old Sheetesh Jaga.
On Friday, the body of Chand Qureshi (22) was found in a small pond in the city while Rajendra Goyal’s (45) decomposed body was found on Saturday in a well.
In the same evening, the charred body of 85-year-old Kalawati was found in a room in a dharamshala where she stayed alone.
Karauli SP Anil Kumar while elaborating the reasons behind the deaths said, “In Jaga’s case, the family told us that he used to drink heavily and on being refused money for liquor by his father, the youth left his house only to be found dead in the pond on Sunday. We found no suicide note and are investigating the case.”
On Saturday, police found Goyal’s body in a well in a temple complex and initial investigation had revealed that he had also been missing since May 13 and the possible reason according to cops was financial stress.
In other two cases, the police are inclined towards calling the cases as suicides.
