RAJKOT: Ramesh Sindhav nearly collapsed from shock when he broke open the door of his son-in-law's house in Jamnagar’s police quarters on Saru Section Road. The horrified 46-year-old man couldn’t believe his eyes seeing his 23-year-old daughter, Jagruti, and her cop husband 27-year-old Bharat Jadav, hanging from the ceiling while the couple’s four-month-old son was sleeping in the cradle.
The couple had got married in January 2019 and Sindhav and other family members told police that the couple lived happily ever since their marriage.
The suicide pact of Jadav, a constable attached with Jamnagar's Panchkosi B-division police station for the past three years and his wife has sent shock waves across the police fraternity.
However, no suicide note was recovered from the house, while police sources claim that Yadav’s Whatsapp shows he was active till 4pm when he put some song lyrics on his status.
Talking to TOI, Sindhav, who lives in Indira Colony on Air Force Road in the city, said he had been trying on his daughter and her husband’s number since 11am in the morning in vain. Their phones remained ‘out of reach’ all the while and so, at around 10pm, he went to check the duo in their house. When he got no response despite knocking repeatedly, he took the help of neighbours to break open the door. Yadav had been staying in the quarters for the past four years and his neighbours say that he was a very gentle, jovial person.
The couple used a rope and dupatta to hang themselves from the ceiling fan’s hook, cops said.
Police sub-inspector KK Parmar of B-division police station said, “We have no clue why Bharat and his wife took such a drastic step. Not only the family and relatives but even colleagues are shocked and surprised. He never showed any signs of being disturbed. We will get to know the reason only after detailed investigation.”
Deputy superintendent of police AP Jadeja said, “I am on leave, but I have known Bharat as a good policeman who was very focused on his work.”
