Shajapur (Madhya Pradesh): Minutes after shooting his girlfriend and killing her father, a blatant Shajapur police constable took to his social media to share the news.
Police constable Subhash Kharadi shared the pictures of his girlfriend on his Facebook account with the caption, “Shot her because she betrayed in love (Pyaar mein dhokha isliye thoka). Have given her such pain that she will never be able to forget.”
Hours after the post, the constable jumped in front of the train and ended his life.
The incident occurred at Malikhedi village under Berchha police station limits in the Shajapur district at around 1 am on May 15.
Notably the girl’s father had died after the constable shot at the father-daughter duo while the woman sustained injuries. It is being speculated that the constable was referring to the woman’s father’s death in his post.
Kharadi got job on compensatory ground
According to the police, Mayaram Kharadi, father of accused constable Subhash Kharadi, was posted as a sub-inspector at Berchha police station about eight years ago. After his father's death, Subhash got a compassionate appointment to the post of constable.
During his posting as a constable, accused Subhash met Shivani, who comes from a Muslim family. The duo was involved in the relationship, but her family members opposed her relationship with Subhash as they didn’t want to get their daughter married to a person of another religion.
Following this, Shivani started distancing herself from Subhash after the family protested. When Subhash cited their relationship, Shivani refused to go against the family, and that angered Subhash, leading to the incident.
On an intervening night of Sunday – Monday at around 1 am, accused Subhash climbed the ladder to the first floor of Shivani’s house and opened fire on her and her father present there.
During the firing incident, the brother of Shivani was also present, and though he was not hit by the bullet, he was also injured by the shrapnel. After committing the crime, the accused, Subhash, fled, leaving his Activa at the spot itself.
An ill-fated love affair
According to Sub Divisional Officer of Police (SDOP) Bhavishya Bhaskar said, "Police received information in the night that a person had shot a woman and her father due to a love affair under Berchha police station limits in the district. Acting on the information the police rushed to spot and started an investigation after registering a case into the matter. The woman sustained injuries while her father died in the incident,"
In the same case, information was received in the morning that a body was found near a railway track in the area. After which, the police reached the spot and began further investigation in the matter, he added.
