Khagaria, Bihar: A heartbreaking tale of love, violence, and despair gripped the Mansi police station limits when a school secretary jumped from a bridge into the Sebaganthi River. Anshu Devi, mother to five young children, left behind her footwear and a scarlet shawl on railway bridge no. 51 before her fatal plunge.
According to distraught family sources, the incident stemmed from a violent clash on Saturday. Relatives of Anshu’s alleged paramour allegedly invaded her home, assaulting her viciously over the rumored romance. Unable to bear the humiliation and pain, the woman resorted to this extreme measure.
Her husband toils as a daily wager in distant Mumbai, away from home for half a year. Anshu had recently returned from the city with their oldest daughter for board examinations. The family comprises two boys and three girls, now orphaned in crisis.
Outrage boiled over as grieving kin and locals jammed the Hardiya railway overbridge road, demanding swift action. Forces from two police stations intervened, dispersing the protesters after hours of tense negotiations. SDRF units have been alerted, scouring the riverbanks relentlessly.
As search efforts intensify, this tragedy raises alarming questions about domestic violence, extramarital affairs, and mental health in conservative heartlands. Authorities vow thorough probes, but for Anshu’s family, time is running out.
