Shockwaves rippled through Madhya Pradesh as a devoted mother and her tiny son were discovered deceased in a Tendukheda well, igniting urgent police scrutiny. This Saturday’s revelation in Damoh’s Ward No. 1 exposes layers of personal anguish beneath a facade of normalcy.
It began innocently: a municipal worker’s glance into the well revealed the unthinkable. Police mobilized, enlisting locals to hoist the bodies for urgent post-mortem, sealing the area for evidence collection.
The victims: Jayanti Kevat, 35, Jharoli native, and her 6-month-old Devansh. In Tendukheda for her brother’s post-death rites, she carried invisible burdens—two prior infant deaths, years of health battles shadowing her steps.
Friday evening marked her last sighting at the family home. Vanishing sparked door-to-door hunts, culminating at the well. Speaking to media, SDOP Archana Ahir assured: ‘Investigation active post-recovery and autopsy. Truth will emerge.’
Speculation swirls around suicide amid grief, yet evidence is pending. This isn’t isolated; it mirrors countless untold stories in India’s villages, where loss cascades without safety nets. Experts advocate well-fencing, awareness drives, and tele-counseling.
Damoh’s fabric frays with this loss, prompting reflection on support systems for the broken-hearted. As probes continue, the community unites in prayer, hoping revelations bring solace to a shattered family and prevent future heartbreaks.
