Accident – death – Obituary News : Navy Man Arrested Weeks After Wife and Mother-in-Law killed in Goa Gas Explosion

In a shocking turn of events, the Goa Police have apprehended Anurag Singh Rajawat, a navy man, more than a month after a tragic incident that claimed the lives of his wife and mother-in-law. The devastating incident occurred in Vasco da Gama when an LPG gas explosion rocked their residence. Officials familiar with the matter have confirmed the arrest.

The victims, identified as Shivani Rajawat, 26, who was pregnant at the time, and her mother, Jaidevi Chauhan, 50, lost their lives on the fateful day of November 18 last year. The Goa Police have pressed charges against Anurag, accusing him of executing his wife’s killing in a dowry death case.

Anurag now faces charges under section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code, as well as for dowry harassment. Additionally, members of his family have also been named as accused in the dowry harassment case. The authorities took Anurag into custody following a report from the sub-divisional magistrate, who acted upon a complaint lodged by Shivani’s family. The complaint alleged that Anurag had subjected Shivani to dowry-related torment, prompting the Goa Police to investigate the tragic deaths.

According to the police, Shivani and her mother were present at their residence in the New Vaddem neighborhood of Vasco da Gama when the fatal explosion occurred. Investigators suspect that a gas cylinder caused the blast, which took place early in the morning. It is believed that a gas leak overnight led to the tragic incident, with the explosion being triggered when the women attempted to ignite the gas stove.

In the wake of the heart-wrenching incident, Shivani’s brother lodged a complaint with the district administration, accusing Anurag of demanding a dowry of Rs.20 lakh from their family and subjecting Shivani and their mother to continuous harassment. He further alleged foul play in the deaths of his sister and mother, holding Anurag responsible for their murder.

Taking cognizance of the serious allegations, the district sub-divisional magistrate promptly initiated an investigation into the matter. The Rajawat family originally hails from Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh and had been residing in a rented accommodation in Vasco da Gama.

This shocking incident has left the community in mourning and raises questions about the safety and security of individuals within their own homes. The arrest of Anurag Singh Rajawat by the Goa Police marks a crucial step towards seeking justice for the deceased victims and their grieving family.

As the investigation progresses, it is hoped that all the facts surrounding this tragic incident will be brought to light. The authorities must ensure a thorough and impartial examination of the case, leaving no stone unturned to uncover the truth and deliver justice to those who have suffered immeasurable loss.

The arrest serves as a reminder that dowry-related crimes continue to plague society, necessitating concerted efforts to eradicate this social evil. It is imperative that society stands united against such acts of violence and supports those who speak up against dowry harassment.

The tragic loss of Shivani Rajawat and Jaidevi Chauhan is an irreplaceable void in the lives of their loved ones. May their souls rest in peace, and may justice prevail..
