A family tragedy struck Damoh district in Madhya Pradesh on Raksha Bandhan, with three members dying near two railway crossings. Mukesh Ahirwar, 30, was hit by a train near Karaiya crossing. Shortly after, his parents Bharat Ahirwar, 65, and Uma Ahirwar, 60, died near Dharampura crossing.
Police suspect suicide based on initial evidence. Kotwali police station in-charge Manish Kumar said the reason is not yet known. A neighbour told police Mukesh had mentioned family problems just before his death. The Railway Protection Force and local police have sent the bodies to the district hospital mortuary and are recording statements.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Bharat Ahirwar worked as a security guard at the same district hospital where his body was taken. Suicide pacts after a family member's death, while rare, are not unknown in rural areas where stigma and financial distress can compound grief. The police investigation will need to establish whether this was a planned pact or two separate impulsive acts. The district administration may be expected to offer counselling to the bereaved extended family.
