A tale of illicit passion turned deadly in Rohtas, Bihar, where a disabled youth paid the ultimate price. Shailendra Kumar, 28, was savagely killed in Baradi village when the husband of his married lover discovered them together. Mourning has gripped the area, with Shailendra’s kin wailing in anguish over the loss.
The affair between Shailendra and the woman from the same village had been brewing for months. That night, as her husband attended a marriage ceremony elsewhere, she summoned Shailendra to their home via phone. He slipped out under the guise of relieving himself and entered the house undetected.
The husband’s premature return shattered the rendezvous. Persistent knocking went unanswered, fueling his doubts. He hammered the door until family members awoke. Upon entry, the sight of Shailendra ignited rage. The group pounced, beating him mercilessly. His disability left him defenseless; he lay motionless, battered beyond recovery.
Word spread quickly, reaching Shailendra’s father. Accompanied by police from Dial-112, they rushed him to Sasaram hospital, but it was too late—pronounced dead by medics. Filing charges at the local thana, the father alleged conspiracy in the assault.
Authorities detained the husband immediately. Post-mortem procedures followed at the hospital. Investigations include witness statements and phone data analysis. The Superintendent of Police vowed comprehensive action against all culprits. This tragedy underscores the perils of extramarital entanglements in rural India, leaving a village in shock.
