Wife and Son Arrested for Trucker's Murder in Rajasthan
12 Jun
Summary
- Trucker's death initially thought natural, revealed as murder.
- Wife and son arrested for alleged involvement in the killing.
- Investigation confirmed homicide through post-mortem and forensics.
A truck driver, Shyam Kumar Prajapat, was found dead in Rajasthan's Nagaur district, with initial reports suggesting a natural cause. However, a swift police investigation, launched on June 9, 2026, uncovered evidence of foul play. Authorities now allege that Prajapat's wife, Munni Devi, and their son are responsible for his death.
The investigation team, formed by the Nagaur Superintendent of Police, meticulously examined technical and scientific evidence. The post-mortem report and forensic findings definitively indicated that Prajapat was murdered, contradicting the family's claims of a natural death. The alleged motive stems from continuous domestic disputes between the victim and his wife.
Investigators believe the incident occurred on the night of June 7-8, 2026, when an argument escalated. Prajapat was reportedly assaulted with sticks and then strangled. Police have arrested Munni Devi and another individual, Sukhram, while a juvenile has been detained under the Juvenile Justice Act. Further inquiries are ongoing to ascertain the precise sequence of events and each accused's role.
