Tragedy struck deep in Chhattisgarh’s Korba as a 27-year-old daughter exacted deadly revenge on her father amid a furious midnight exchange. Geeta Kevat is in custody for slashing 55-year-old Ashok Kumar Kevat’s neck with a sickle in Raliya’s Limamunda Basti.
Eight years of separation defined the family, born from Ashok’s baseless character assaults on his wife and Geeta. Settled in Adil Chowk, Korba, the women forged ahead—two in jobs, one in school—escaping the chaos.
A village visit on February 9 for compensation issues set the stage. By 2 AM, father-daughter tempers flared; his derogatory words unleashed Geeta’s wrath. The sickle strike was swift and final.
She openly declared to relatives her deed, prompting a rush to the bloodied corpse. Police arrived, arrested Geeta, and processed the remains for forensic analysis.
Chronic alcohol abuse by Ashok and brewing feuds are early clues. Geeta’s online footprint, including a viral video sparking cyber complaints, is under the lens. Beyond the crime, this story exposes the perils of fractured homes, urging intervention before words turn to weapons.
