Man jumps into well with 4-yr old son, wife found dead at home

Udaipur : In a heart rendering incident that took place at  Oda village under Kelwara police station in Rajsamand district on Saturday morning, a man jumped into a well with his 4-year old son while his wife’s bodywas found at home some 1.5 kilometers away from the well. Police said prima facie it appears to be a suicide case, however, sources said the man had perhaps killed  his wife by strangulating her and later jumped into well with son.

Prabhulal (28) resident of Rathodo-ki-Badi at Oda village worked in a textile mill at Pali however, he had been at home since a month after suffering from typhoid which had worsened his health condition. His parents had taken the goats out for grazing while his wife Pushpa (25) and son Manish were  at home. ” Neighbours said they had never seen or heard the couple fight and they lived happily with each  other, so everyone was shocked to know about the suicide” circle inspector  Heramb Joshi of Kelwara PS said. Sources said perhaps the medical condition had lead the man to depression and consequently he  took the harsh step. There were marks on the wife’s neck. The bodies were taken to the mortuary. Large number of people had gathered  at the well and the deceased’s home while the procedures were being completed by the forensic team.
