A tragic incident unfolded in Chhattisgarh’s Dhamtari district, where a man allegedly killed his four-year-old son before taking his own life. The police confirmed the incident occurred on Sunday evening in Bodra village, located within the jurisdiction of the Arjuni police station.
According to authorities, the deceased, identified as 40-year-old Dopeshwar Sahu, was reportedly embroiled in a domestic dispute with his wife, allegedly fueled by suspicions of infidelity. Though the precise motive behind the extreme act is yet to be confirmed, investigators believe the ongoing tension may have played a role.
The tragedy came to light when Sahu’s wife returned home and discovered the lifeless bodies of her husband and their young son, Shreyansh. Sahu was found hanging inside the house, while the child’s body was lying on the floor with visible head injuries. She immediately alerted the neighbours, who then informed the police.
Police officials stated that, based on initial findings and testimonies from family members and locals, it appears that Sahu may have killed his son before committing suicide. “There were ongoing disputes between the couple, and suspicions of infidelity may have been a contributing factor. However, we are still investigating all angles,” an official said.
A case has been registered, and a thorough probe is underway to determine the exact sequence of events and the reasons behind this heartbreaking incident.
