Rajkot Police Crack Murder Case After Woman Found Dead Near Factory
Police in Rajkot have successfully solved a disturbing murder case. The body of a forty-year-old woman was discovered near a saree factory on Jetpur–Rabarika Road. Authorities identified the deceased as Anita Rathod.
Brother Files Complaint Against Partner
Jayesh Rathod, the brother of the victim, filed a formal complaint. He accused Anita's live-in partner, Gajadhar Singh, also known as Mamu, of the crime. Police have now detained Singh for questioning.
Investigators believe Singh strangled Anita to death. The alleged murder followed a domestic dispute between the couple. This tragic event has shocked the local community.
Timeline of the Incident
The incident first came to light on January 11th. Workers found Rathod's body in a room behind the factory's boundary wall. Police quickly launched an investigation into her death.
According to the police report, Anita and Gajadhar arrived at the factory on January 7th. They were searching for employment opportunities. The factory owner kindly provided them with accommodation on the premises.
Suspicion began to grow on January 10th. Co-workers noticed that Anita was missing from her usual spot. They approached Gajadhar Singh to ask about her whereabouts.
Singh allegedly told them he did not know where she had gone. He suggested she might have traveled to another location. His answers raised further doubts among the factory staff.
Accused Flees the Scene
Gajadhar Singh later fled the factory premises. He took all his belongings with him before disappearing. This sudden departure prompted a thorough search of the factory area.
Police officers combed the location carefully. Their search led to the grim discovery of Anita's body. The evidence pointed strongly towards foul play.
Legal Action Taken
Authorities have registered a formal case against the accused. They charged him under Section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). This section deals with culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
The Jetpur Udyog Nagar police are continuing their investigation. They aim to gather all necessary evidence for a strong prosecution. The community awaits further developments in this sad case.
