Chhattisgarh reels from a gut-wrenching double suicide in Janjgir-Champa’s Dharadei, where devastated parents hanged from a courtyard tree, unable to bear their son’s absence. Police, arriving post-Mahashivratri, found the bodies alongside a four-page note brimming with paternal anguish and devotion.
Krishna Patel, the mason father, and mother immortalized 21-year-old Aditya – killed in a 2024 crash – as their universe’s center, a divine son who enriched every moment. A pivotal regret surfaces: urging Aditya to Dhaurabhatta for temple tasks despite warnings. ‘My life’s worst blunder; we’re ghosts since,’ the note laments.
‘Freely surrendering to Bhagwan Shankar, blaming none,’ it affirms, paired with a video beseeching their lawyer to pass Aditya’s compensation to his big brother. This blend of spirituality and practicality reveals their tormented mindset.
Community whispers of the couple’s adoration for Aditya, their post-loss torment palpable. Investigations confirm suicide, with postmortems underway. This narrative exposes grief’s corrosive power in isolated settings, calling for community vigilance.
In conclusion, the note’s raw vulnerability humanizes their end, advocating proactive mental health interventions. Dharadei mourns, united in resolve to shield others from such fates.
