In a scene straight out of a nightmare, two little girls refused to leave their mother’s side at Madhepura railway station, convinced she was merely sleeping. ‘Mommy, get up,’ the 5-year-old begged, holding her head, as the 2-year-old repeatedly tried to rouse her before dozing off in grief. Their eyes scanned the crowd for their father, who vanished after assuring a quick return.
The crowd’s shock turned to horror upon discovering the 25-year-old woman’s death. Identified as Kajal Kumari, she had built a life with eloped husband Mohammad Murshid, bearing two daughters over eight years. Murshid’s migration to Mumbai for work left gaps that social media filled disastrously.
Kajal’s smartphone, meant for family chats, became a gateway to betrayal. She developed a relationship with Mohammad Anjar, abandoning her family to live with him. Pregnancy intensified their conflicts; Anjar rejected the unborn child, leading to escalating disputes.
The fateful night saw Anjar transport the ailing Kajal and kids to the station platform. He placed her on a bench, cited her illness, and disappeared under the pretext of seeking medical help. The children endured the cold night alone with her body until dawn broke and help arrived.
GRP swiftly responded, securing the scene. Neck marks hint at foul play, possibly hanging or throttling. Authorities are grilling relatives and hunting Anjar, while Murshid’s involvement remains under scrutiny. This tragedy underscores the perils of impulsive decisions and unchecked digital temptations, culminating in unimaginable loss for the young survivors.
