Nagpur. Due to deteriorating mental balance, a man killed his wife and daughter last night. In the middle of the night, such cruelty mounted on his head that both of them beheaded with Sattur. After this, he himself committed suicide by hanging himself. This horrific incident took place in Rajivnagar area of Vanadongri under MIDC police station. The incident has created a stir in the entire area.
The dead include Vilas Sampat Gawte (40), Ranjana Vilas Gawte (38) and Amrita Vilas Gawte (11). Vilas had kept 10 cows and buffaloes in the house. He used to run his family by selling milk. Just next door, younger brother Ganpat also lives with his family. A large number of people of Gawli community live in the premises and all are relatives among themselves.
son saw the dead body covered in blood
On Friday night, Ranjana had dinner with the children and all went to sleep in a room. It is said that Vilas had come home after drinking alcohol. He slept without having food. Late at night he awoke from sleep. Suddenly cruelty came to his head. Vilas killed Ranjana and Amrita by taking Sattur in the kitchen. Both of them cut their necks while sleeping. Around 2 o’clock in the night, 12-year-old son Tajesh woke up for a short time. Seeing the blood-soaked corpse of mother and sister beside, Tajesh was terrified. Immediately ran away and knocked on the door of the house of uncle Ganpat, who lived next door. Ganpat heard the cry of Tajesh. On enquiry, he took her inside the house by holding her hand.
hanging from tree
The whole family was shocked to see Ranjana and Amrita’s dead body but Vilas was missing from the house. The incident was immediately informed to the control room. At first nothing was visible due to darkness, but when the family started looking for Vilas, he was seen hanging on the noose of a rope tied to a karonda tree. MIDC SHO Umesh Besarkar reached the spot. DCP Lohit Matani also took stock of the incident. After doing Panchnama, the three bodies were sent to the medical hospital for post-mortem. A case of murder was registered against Vilas.
problem was going on for a long time
Relatives of Vilas told that his mental condition was not good. Earlier he was fine but for the last 4-5 years he used to behave in a strange way. The only thing going on in his mind was that someone would kill him. If someone looked at him for a few seconds, he used to start beating him as his enemy. At first the family felt that he was a victim of witchcraft. He was also taken to some religious places to be cured. Suddenly he started teasing his wife and daughters. Three months ago, the family married the elder daughter Kajal to a young man living in the premises, but the son was very much in love with Tajesh. That’s why he left Tajesh alive. Brother Madhukar said that we delayed the treatment for a while. It would have been better if Vilas had been taken to the mental hospital.
