Heartbreak gripped Madhepura station when dawn revealed two girls huddled over their deceased mother, having cried through the night. The 5-year-old’s lap served as pillow for Kajal Kumari’s head, her sister pathetically urging revival, both awaiting a father absent since his brief exit.
The tableau of innocence amid death compelled action; the cloth revealed a corpse, spurring police involvement. Kajal’s past: eloping at matric age with Murshid, birthing daughters, husband’s labor migration to Mumbai post-second child.
A smartphone for connection ironically fostered infidelity with Anjar via social platforms. She forsook home for him, conceived amid bliss turning bitter as he spurned the pregnancy, fights ensuing over six months.
Night of reckoning: Auto ride to station under illness guise. Anjar lays her down, vows doctor visit, vanishes. Children’s endurance broke at sunrise, cries alerting GRP who seized the body amid chaos.
Forensic focus on neck ligature marks suggests hanging; homicide not ruled out. Fugitive Anjar tops searches, husband’s complicity probed, kin notified. This chronicle of passion’s perils—from elopement highs to affair lows—ends in profound tragedy, spotlighting vulnerabilities in modern relationships and the toll on children.
