Police said Anjali's eldest daughter, Monika, managed to save herself and her two younger sisters. She alerted the family about the incident. Relatives and locals rushed at well and pulled out the bodies of Anjali and her son Prashant.
According to the family, Anjali had been under mental stress ever since her husband, Dharmveer Singh Rawat, died in a road accident about a month and a half ago.
Anjali's Sister And Her Three Children Killed
In the second incident, Anjali's sister Sita Rawat (40), a resident of Sesai village, and her children, Rakhi (14), Priyanka (11) and Shlok (6) were also found dead in a well. Police said she went to a field in Khonkar village with her three children on Wednesday. When they did not return home by around 6 pm, relatives began searching for them. They found slippers near a well and spotted a child's body inside. Sita was eight months pregnant, and her unborn baby also died. Kolaras police station house officer Jitendra Chandelia said police personnel retrieved the bodies from the well and registered a case.
What Deceased's Family Members Said
Sita's brother-in-law Hakam Singh said the sisters shared a close bond and often spoke to each other over the phone. He suspects Sita's death may have been linked to the shock of Anjali's suicide. However, police said an investigation was underway on the circumstances surrounding both incidents.
