Shockwaves reverberate through Ranchi following a family’s collective brush with death, where a son’s hanging death followed his mother and sister’s pill overdose amid crippling finances. The incident in Argoda’s Kadru New AG Colony has left the community stunned, probing the depths of their desperation.
Mihir, the promising CA graduate from Kolkata, had resettled in Ranchi for work just a week earlier, only to succumb to hanging. His lawyer mother, Sneha Akhouri—previously active in Jharkhand High Court—had withdrawn from practice. The class 9 sister shared their grim fate through excessive medication intake.
Rushed to intensive care, the duo fights severe poisoning effects. The scene, discovered by alert locals, prompted a rapid police and forensic deployment. Argoda officers, combing the residence, uncovered indicators of profound economic strain.
Preliminary police statements pinpoint financial distress as the overriding factor, with ongoing probes to rule out other influences. Mihir’s remains await forensic analysis, as medical teams monitor the survivors for potential statements.
Panic lingers in the area, with residents exchanging theories on the family’s unraveling. This harrowing case spotlights the perilous intersection of ambition, debt, and isolation in contemporary India. It beckons immediate action: accessible therapy, financial literacy drives, and community vigilance to prevent such cascades of calamity. Ranchi’s narrative now includes this somber chapter, a clarion call for empathy in times of trial.
