Jilted lover kills woman’s father after rejection of marriage proposal
After a woman turned down the marriage proposal of a man, the latter turned furious and brutally killed her father in Jagraon. The Jagraon City police arrested the suspect within four hours of the crime. He was identified as Rishav Jain, a resident of Beriyan mohalla in Jagraon.
The complainant, Anjali, a resident of Diwankhana mohalla, Jagraon, said she was staying with her father in a rented accommodation. Her father, Sanjeev Kumar, divorced her mother about eight years ago due to domestic issues and her two brothers Nitan Sharma and Dheeraj Sharma were staying with their mother in a separate rented house in Kacha Kila, Jagraon.
The complainant alleged that her father was working at Lal Palace Cinema in Jagraon. About two years ago, she developed a friendship with Rishav Jain. His father owns a general store at Nalkyanwala Chowk in Jagraon and Rishav also worked there.
The complainant said Rishav wanted to marry her and she had also initially agreed but later she came to know that he had started taking drugs. She tried to stop him from taking drugs but he continued with his habit. Rather, he started committing petty thefts as well to fulfil his addiction and even started quarreling with her often.
The complainant said due to the drug addiction of Rishav, she had also stopped talking to him for about two months as she knew that her future with the suspect could not go well. As a result, he started harassing her and would often stalk her.
She revealed that she had also apprised her father about her harassment by Rishav and her father had also told him many times to stop harassing her. But he continued the same. Instead, he started threatening to kill the woman and her father. Once he came outside her house and abused her.
“On the night of December 11, her father finished his duty at Lal Palace Cinema and left for home on his bicycle but he did not reach the house. I waited for my father for the whole night. Later, when I and my brother were searching for him, we came to know that he was brutally attacked by someone near the palace. He was taken to the Civil Hospital, Jagraon, on Thursday night where he succumbed to his injuries,” the complainant said.
The SSP, Jagraon, Navneet Singh Bains, SP Parminder Singh, DSP Jasjot Singh and SHO, Jagraon City, SI Amarjit Singh, addressed a press conference regarding the matter.
The SHO said when Rishav was committing the crime, CCTV cameras captured the entire incident. After identifying the suspect, the police managed to crack the case and arrest him within four hours. A case of murder was registered against the suspect.
