The country is now in shock after three violent crimes were reported in the cities of Delhi, Lucknow, and Pune in one of the most disturbing series of incidents to have taken place in the country and in which the safety of the population is at stake.
A domestic servant mercilessly killed his employer, Ruchika (35 years), along with her son Krish (14 years) in the South Delhi locality of Lajpat Nagar. The police said that they were attacked by Ruchika in front of others, and the accused thrashed them and cut their throats. The house was locked from the inside, and relatives broke in and found the bodies: Ruchika was found in the bedroom, and her son was found in the bathroom. The house help escaped the scene only to be apprehended later. He allegedly admitted to the two murders, arguing that he did it as he was in a fit of anger.
In Alambagh, Lucknow, a man by the name Jagdeep murdered his in-laws after a blistering quarrel with his separated wife Poonam. Enraged that she refused to go back to his place, he stabbed his father, Anant Ram, to death in the neck, and then followed by his mother. The neighbours, who were attracted by the screams of Poonam, caught Jagdeep and handed him over to the police. The case is being investigated by the authorities as a two-murder case partly motivated by domestic conflict.
A 22-year-old technology practitioner was reportedly raped in her homestead in the Kondhwa region of the city of Pune by a man posing himself to be a courier delivery executive. It is said that he entered her apartment claiming that he had accidentally left his pen inside and locked the door behind him, and possibly sprayed her, incapacitating her with some liquid. The survivor woke up almost an hour later, and after doing so, she discovered a threatening message, as well as a selfie of the accused on her phone. The suspect has been tracked down by the police and is under arrest, and CCTV footage is being analysed.
The three consecutive crimes are an eye-opener, showing that safety should be increased, the criminal system reformed, and mental wellness networks created within the country.
