Raipur: Chhattisgarh police made a gruesome discovery on Saturday as they found the bodies of six members of a family in Sarangarh-Bilaigarh district. Tragically, five of the family members had been brutally hacked to death, while another was found hanging. The victims have been identified as Manoj Sahu, Hemlal Sahu (55), his wife Jagmoti Sahu (50), their daughters Meera Sahu (30) and Mamta Sahu (35), and their grandson Ayush (5).

According to reports from PTI, the incident occurred at Thargaon village under the Saliha police station limits. The Superintendent of Police stated that five of the deceased had sustained axe injuries on their bodies. “Circumstantial evidence points towards Manoj being the perpetrator before taking his own life,” the SP mentioned, as reported by PTI.

Local residents discovered the bodies and promptly alerted the police, who arrived at the scene and sent the bodies for autopsy. Additionally, a forensic team has been dispatched, and an extensive investigation is currently underway.

In a separate incident earlier this month, a 14-year-old girl allegedly murdered her elder brother after he scolded her for interacting with boys on her mobile phone. The tragic event unfolded in Chhattisgarh’s Khairagarh-Chhuikhadan-Gandai (KCG) district.

The dreadful incident took place in Amlidihkala village under the Chhuikhadan police station limits. The teenage girl was apprehended for the crime on Friday, as per an official statement.

The girl confessed to the authorities that she and her 18-year-old brother were alone at home when he chastised her for conversing with boys over the phone. Enraged by the scolding, she reportedly used an axe to fatally wound her brother while he was asleep, resulting in his immediate demise.
