Rajasthan: 4 members of family die by suicide in Barmer
The incident occurred in Undu village of the district where Shivlal , his wife Kavita , and their two sons, aged 8 and 6, were found dead on Tuesday evening in a tank outside their home in Brahmano Ki Dhani in Sheo Police Station limits.
According to the preliminary investigation, Shivlal allegedly jumped into the tank along with his family after locking the house.
The incident came to light after his younger brother, unable to reach the couple on the phone, sent a neighbour to check, following which the police were alerted.
Sheo DSP Manaram Garg said, "The bodies were found in the tank on Tuesday evening. The in-laws were informed, and the retrieval was done on Wednesday morning in their presence as they could not arrive at night."
The bodies were sent to the mortuary at the Bhiyad CHC for post-mortem.
Gopilal, Kavita's uncle, told reporters, "Shivlal wanted to build a separate house with funds sanctioned under PM Awas Yojana. But his brother and mother did not allow it. This constant harassment forced him to write a suicide note on June 29."
According to the family, although Shivlal wrote the note two days earlier, he did not act on it immediately. But on Tuesday, after his mother left to visit his brother in Barmer and his father was away for religious work, Shivlal and Kavita turned off their phones and allegedly took the drastic step.
Police recorded statements of relatives from both sides, and officials said they are investigating allegations of domestic harassment under IPC sections related to abetment of suicide.
Sheo Police said further inquiries would consider the contents of the alleged suicide note and family disputes as part of the probe.

Life term or 7-yr jail: SC gives man, 67, choice in 1979 college clash verdict
NEW DELHI: Some may call it a burning example of a snail-paced justice delivery system while others may term it as "law catching up with the culprit when he is at his weakest". However one may describe it, a person who committed the crime as a hot-headed college student, now dreads spending the rest of his life as an ailing senior citizen behind bars. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The SC has now given him the option between life term or seven years in jail. A union election-related fight between two students of LokManya Inter College in Deoria district of in 1979 led to 21-year-old Hari Shankar Rai stabbing a 19-year-old Krishna Kumar, who died of injuries on Dec 14, 1979. The trial court in 1983 found Rai guilty under Section 304-I of IPC and sentenced him to four-year imprisonment. A person lost his life, there should be adequate punishment for the crime: SC The Allahabad HC took 41 years to decide the appeal filed by the state challenging the trial court decision and seeking his conviction for murder. Rai had appealed against his conviction. In May last year, the HC found the evidence strong enough to convict Rai under Section 302 and awarded life imprisonment. Rai appealed against the HC judgment before the SC. A bench of CJI B R Gavai and Justice K Vinod Chandran told the 67-year-old Rai that even if his conviction for murder is altered to that under Section 304-I, he cannot escape with a punishment of mere four years imprisonment. "A person lost his life and whatever may be, there should be adequate punishment for the crime," the CJI said. His counsel said the man is now 67-year-old suffering from ailments and pleaded for mercy on the ground that his wife is suffering from cancer, needing constant care. But the bench remained firm and refused to grant him bail during the pendency of his appeal in the SC. Refusing to show mercy and warning the convict's counsel that arguing for acquittal, in the face of a well-reasoned HC judgment, would result in dismissal of the appeal, CJI Gavai said, "If you are agreeable, we will convert the conviction under Sec 302 to that under Sec 304-I (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) with seven year imprisonment." SC also asked the state counsel Tulika Mukherjee to take instructions regarding the present relationship between the families of the victim and the accused.

Girl turns hostile & no evidence: Gurgaon man accused of rape walks free
Gurgaon: A man accused of raping a 10-year-old girl in Nov 2022 walked free as the girl and other witnesses turned hostile. The medical report and forensic evidence did not support allegations of rape. While acquitting the accused, a city court observed that "A person is presumed to be innocent until guilt is proved against him beyond all reasonable doubt. The prosecution failed to establish the guilt of the accused." A case was registered in Nov 2022 on the complaint of the minor's mother, alleging her daughter was sexually assaulted by the accused when they were out for work. In the complaint, the woman stated that the girl, along with her siblings, was returning home from the park when a man lured her by promising to give her a melon. 'The accused took her inside a room while her siblings were standing outside. You Can Also Check: Gurgaon AQI | Weather in Gurgaon | Bank Holidays in Gurgaon | Public Holidays in Gurgaon The man was arrested within days of the registration of the FIR, and a chargesheet was filed in Jan 2023 against the accused under section 6 (sexual assault) of the POCSO Act and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC. However, during the trial, the mother of the victim changed her statement and said the minor was playing in the park when some unknown person misbehaved with her, and they ran away when she raised an alarm. She told the court that the man never committed any sexual act with the minor. The minor also changed her statement, as did the father of the minor. Sanjoy Mondal, a security guard at the park of Sector 17-A, said police had taken his signature on a blank paper, and he was not aware of any sexual assault. Manish Shandilya, counsel for the accused, said the accused never committed any sexual assault upon the victim. The allegations were in no way sustainable in court and were found to be vague during the trial. "The court rightly acquitted the accused, hence justice to the accused and his family, who suffered badly during the period of the case registration and trial," said Shandilya. Additional sessions judge of the fast-track special court under the POCSO Act, Gurgaon, Jasmine Sharma, in her order issued earlier this week, said the child victim, her parents, and Sanjay Mandal have not supported the prosecution version. All four witnesses in unison denied any offence by the accused and have stated that the accused never committed sexual assault upon the victim at any point in time. "An accused is presumed to be an innocent person unless and until guilt is proved against him beyond all the shadow of reasonable doubt," the court observed. "The prosecution has miserably failed to bring home the guilt of the accused," said the court and acquitted the accused of all the charges levelled against him.
