CCTV footage showed the man taking the boys on his bike, police said they went willingly as they recognised him, a frequent visitor to their home.

Indian Opinion Analysis
This case echoes a pattern seen in several Madhya Pradesh crimes where domestic or romantic motives lead to extreme violence against children. The state's conviction rate for murder under the IPC was about 38% in 2022 according to National Crime Records Bureau data, though such cases often hinge on forensic and circumstantial evidence. The police investigation will now focus on establishing the exact sequence of events from the CCTV footage and post-mortem reports, and whether the suspect's death was indeed suicide or involved other parties. The district police will file a final report in court after completing the probe.
