Murder or Suicide? Father Alleges Conspiracy After Son Found Hanging in Ambedkar Nagar
A father in Ambedkar Nagar claims his son Ravi Maurya was murdered and staged as a suicide due to a romantic dispute. Police have registered a case.
A wave of tension has gripped the Jalapur Kotwali area of Ambedkar Nagar after the death of 28-year-old Ravi Maurya. While the scene initially appeared to be a suicide, the victim's father has come forward with shocking allegations, claiming that his son was the victim of a cold-blooded murder staged to look like a hanging.
The Gruesome Discovery
The incident came to light on October 29 in Nagpur Mustafabad village. According to the complaint filed by Paras Maurya, his son Ravi's body was found hanging from a tree by a wire, located just a short distance from their family residence. The sight sent shockwaves through the village, but for Paras Maurya, the circumstances surrounding the death were too suspicious to be ignored.
A Deadly Conspiracy?
The father's allegations point toward a motive rooted in a romantic entanglement. Paras Maurya claims that Ravi was involved in a relationship with a young woman, a fact that allegedly triggered a conspiracy against him.
According to the complainant, the suspects used a phone call to lure Ravi to a specific location. The father alleges that once Ravi arrived, the perpetrators murdered him and subsequently hung his body from the tree to mislead investigators into believing it was a suicide.
Public Outcry and Roadside Protests
The tragedy quickly escalated into a public confrontation. Late Thursday night, family members and local villagers, distrustful of the initial circumstances, staged a fierce protest. In a bid to demand justice, they placed Ravi's body on the roadside, blocking traffic and demanding that the police register a formal murder case rather than treating it as a routine suicide.
The demonstration continued until senior police officials intervened, providing assurances to the grieving family and the villagers that an impartial and thorough investigation would be conducted. Following these assurances, the protest ended, and Ravi's last rites were performed on Friday morning.
Police Action and Investigation
The local authorities have now officially entered the fray. Based on the complaint filed by Paras Maurya, the police have registered a case against two named individuals and two to three unidentified persons.
Ajay Pratap Singh Yadav, the Station House Officer (SHO) of Jalapur Kotwali, confirmed that the case is now active. He stated that the police are meticulously examining every angle of the incident and that further legal steps will be taken based on the evidence collected during the probe.
While the police have not yet confirmed the father's allegations of murder, the investigation remains ongoing to determine whether Ravi Maurya took his own life or fell victim to a calculated plot.
