A chilling family tragedy gripped Usri Bintoli village in Gopalganj, Bihar, where addiction-fueled rage led a man to murder his own mother over an unbelievably trivial sum of 100 rupees. The prime suspect, Rambharose Rawat, now faces life in prison after locals delivered street justice.
It was a routine evening when 55-year-old Sumitra Devi found herself facing her eldest son’s fury. Ganesh Rawat and his wife had stepped out for fishing, leaving her home alone. Rambharose, known for his drinking habits and two deserted marriages, stormed in demanding cash. Refusal sparked the violence: he grabbed a blade and slashed her neck fatally.
Screams alerted nearby residents, who discovered the gruesome scene. The mob’s outrage boiled over; they apprehended the escaping killer, thrashing him before police intervention. Law enforcement secured the area, summoned forensics experts who bagged crucial evidence, and rushed the body for autopsy.
Speaking to reporters, Ganesh recounted the nightmare: his intoxicated son returned, argued over money, and committed the unthinkable. Police statements echo this, with SDPO Rajesh Kumar detailing the rapid response, evidence collection, and FIR filing at Baikunthpur station.
This case underscores Bihar’s growing concerns with alcohol dependency and domestic violence. While the accused remains under questioning, the community rallies in grief, calling for rehabilitation programs and mental health support to safeguard vulnerable families. The probe promises no stone unturned, seeking any hidden layers to this monstrous act.
