Tragic Death of Bank Manager in Motihari Sparks Murder Allegations
A shocking incident has unfolded in Motihari, East Champaran district, where a bank manager was discovered deceased in his residence on Friday. The case has taken a dramatic turn as family members have come forward with serious allegations against his wife.
Family Points Finger at Wife Over Alleged Affair
The deceased has been identified as Jitendra Kumar Paswan, a 40-year-old manager at Ramgarhwa Gramin Bank, where he had been serving for approximately one year. According to family statements, Paswan's death is not a simple case of suicide but rather a calculated murder.
Paswan's brother-in-law, Suraj, made startling claims to authorities, stating: "Jitendra's wife Vandana was having an extramarital relationship for about one year. She killed him." The family alleges that Paswan had been opposing his wife's alleged affair, which they believe led to this tragic outcome.
Wife and Daughters Flee Before Last Rites
Adding to the mystery surrounding the case, Paswan's wife Vandana reportedly fled the family home along with their two young daughters, aged six and four years. This departure occurred before the deceased's last rites could be performed, raising further questions about her involvement and whereabouts.
Suraj provided additional details about the circumstances, revealing that Vandana had contacted him by phone to inform him that Jitendra was found hanging using her dupatta following an argument the previous night.
Police Investigation Underway
Sub-Divisional Police Officer Manish Anand confirmed that authorities are actively investigating the case from multiple angles. "Family members claimed that Jitendra was healthy but under work-related stress," Anand stated, highlighting the conflicting narratives emerging from the tragedy.
The police official emphasized that all possibilities are being examined thoroughly, including:
- The family's allegations of murder related to the alleged extramarital affair
- Potential work-related stress factors mentioned by relatives
- The circumstances surrounding the wife's sudden departure from the home
- Forensic evidence from the scene of the incident
Authorities have confirmed they are actively tracing Vandana's whereabouts as part of their investigation into this complex and tragic case that has shaken the Motihari community.
