Tragedy struck Baradhi village in Bihar’s Rohtas when 28-year-old Shailendra Kumar Singh, a man with one disabled leg, was allegedly murdered by his married paramour’s family following a late-night invitation. What began as a lovers’ meet ended in cold-blooded brutality.
Shailendra’s longstanding liaison with Ragini Mishra, a wedded woman from the same village, culminated disastrously. Enticed by her phone call around midnight on Saturday, he ventured to her home unsuspecting. Little did he know, it was a death trap orchestrated by rage.
Caught entering her room, Shailendra faced the wrath of Daddu Mishra, her spouse, and relatives. Hamstrung by his physical condition, he endured a ferocious lathi charge that proved lethal on the premises, leaving his corpse bloodied.
Alerted by the father Lal Badan Singh via helpline 112, Mufassil police sealed the scene at first light. The remains went for postmortem at Sasaram Sadar Hospital. Authorities arrested Daddu Mishra swiftly, registering a murder case while scrutinizing accomplices’ roles.
Preliminary probes affirm beating as the cause, with formal reports to guide trials ahead.
This macabre episode exposes the lethal undercurrents of extramarital entanglements in rural settings, prompting renewed scrutiny on protective measures for the vulnerable and stamping out vigilante justice.
