Overview
- Police discovered a burning Mahindra Scorpio early Thursday and villagers extinguished the blaze to find three charred bodies inside and a fourth body nearby.
- Investigators say blood stains at the home, diesel traced to a tractor, folded rear seats and post-mortem signs of stab and throat injuries indicate the victims were killed at the house before the vehicle was driven and set on fire.
- Ajmer police have arrested the ex-sarpanch’s first wife, detained his daughter and a 17-year-old son, and report the minor made an alleged confession describing months of planning.
- Authorities are treating a long-running domestic dispute over a second marriage and alleged physical abuse of the first wife and children as a possible motive while forensic tests, autopsies and technical evidence gathering continue.
- The case raises questions about juvenile responsibility, local family and property dynamics, and could lead to formal charges once forensic results and the full investigation are complete.
