A harrowing tale of love, betrayal, and a deadly plot unfolded in Parsahi village of Janjgir Champa district, where three lives were tragically cut short due to poisoned liquor. The startling revelation emerged from a police investigation, exposing the dark underbelly of an illicit love affair that spiraled into a murder conspiracy.
The central figure in this chilling narrative is Jayanti Sande, the wife of the deceased Santkumar Sande. Jayanti had been entangled in an illicit relationship with Prem Sagar Ratnakar, a fellow villager from Thadgabahra. When Santkumar discovered his wife’s secret liaison, their home became a battleground of accusations and confrontations. Day by day, the strained relationship between husband and wife escalated into verbal abuse and physical altercations.
Frustrated and seemingly trapped, Jayanti and her lover, Prem Sagar, hatched a sinister plan to eliminate Santkumar. The treacherous scheme involved Jayanti surreptitiously mixing poison into her husband’s alcoholic beverage. On the fateful day, as the events unfolded, Santkumar’s brother, Sanjay Sande, and their friend, Jitendra Sonkar, arrived at the scene.
With poisoned liquor in their midst, all three men unknowingly consumed the deadly concoction. Tragedy struck swiftly, and the poisonous brew claimed the lives of Santkumar Sande, Sanjay Sande, and Jitendra Sonkar. Their deaths sent shockwaves through the community.
The police swiftly launched an investigation into the mysterious deaths. Post-mortem examinations were conducted, and the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) team combed the crime scene for evidence. Statements from family members, witnesses, technical data, and preliminary post-mortem reports all pointed to foul play.
Based on this compelling evidence, the authorities registered a case against the prime suspects, Jayanti Sande and Prem Sagar Ratnakar. During the investigation, Jayanti Sande confessed to her role in the deadly plot. She revealed that, driven to the brink by her husband’s alleged abuse, she and Prem Sagar had conspired to end his life. The poison-laced country liquor was the instrument of their sinister plan.
As a result of the investigation, both the accused woman and her lover were apprehended and subsequently remanded to judicial custody. The Janjgir Champa community remains shaken by this tragic tale of love twisted into a murderous conspiracy.
