A shopkeeper from Patna died under mysterious circumstances late on Sunday night, sparking a police investigation and serious allegations from his family. The incident has sent shockwaves through the local community in the Gardanibagh area.
Mysterious Circumstances Surround Death
Rahul Kumar, a resident of Purandarpur Devisthan under the Jakkanpur police station limits, passed away under suspicious conditions. The man, who ran a shop, had been living in a rented house in Gardanibagh with his wife for the past three years. The tragedy unfolded around 10:30 PM on Sunday night when he suffered a sudden and severe health deterioration.
He was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital by his family members. However, medical professionals declared him dead on arrival, leaving his relatives in a state of shock and confusion. The sudden nature of his passing raised immediate red flags.
Injuries on Body Lead to Murder Allegation
The situation took a dramatic turn when grieving relatives prepared the body for last rites. They noticed multiple unexplained injuries on Rahul Kumar's body. These visible marks were inconsistent with a natural death from sudden illness, fueling deep suspicion about the actual events leading to his demise.
This discovery prompted his brother, Neeraj Kumar, to step forward with a grave accusation. He has publicly alleged that Rahul Kumar's wife is responsible for his death, essentially accusing her of murder. The allegation has added a complex layer to the case, shifting it from a potential medical tragedy to a possible criminal investigation.

Officials are examining all angles, including the statements from the family, the nature of the injuries found on the deceased, and the events of Sunday night. The wife is expected to be questioned extensively as part of the standard investigative procedure.
Authorities are also awaiting the official post-mortem report, which is crucial for determining the exact cause of death. The report will clarify whether the injuries were ante-mortem or post-mortem and could provide forensic evidence critical to the case.
