Heartbreak struck Gujarat’s capital as a promising government officer, Yashraj Singh Gohil—nephew of Congress MP Shaktisinh Gohil—killed his recent bride Rajeshwari with a gunshot before committing suicide in their Bodakdev high-rise. The NRI Tower incident late Wednesday has police scrambling for answers.
Married merely two months, the couple’s life in the Thaltej apartment ended abruptly during a late-night quarrel at 10:30 PM. Yashraj, holding a Class-1 post at Gujarat Maritime Board, fired his licensed revolver at Rajeshwari and called emergency responders. She was already gone by the time help arrived. He then fatally wounded himself elsewhere in the flat.
Echoing gunshots sent residents into panic, prompting immediate police alerts. Elite response teams, forensics, and the Deputy Commissioner sealed and searched the site thoroughly.
The political fraternity is reeling. Congress’s Manish Doshi shared the family’s sorrow, praising Yashraj’s new role and UPSC dreams now cruelly cut short.
With no history of complaints, investigators are diving deep: family interrogations, neighbor accounts, forensic reports, license audits, and 108 call verification. As the probe intensifies, Ahmedabad awaits clarity on the trigger for this tragic spiral.
