Chhattisgarh Government has ordered a magisterial inquiry into the case of a senior police officer allegedly committing suicide after he shot at his wife and two children in Bastar district.
Tabling his statement about the issue in the Assembly in Raipur on Tuesday, Home Minister Ramsewak Paikra said a magisterial probe has been ordered into the incident which took place at Jagdalpur district headquarters during the intervening night of Monday and Tuesday.
Jagdalpur City Superintendent of Police Devnarayan Patel had committed suicide after shooting his wife and children. While Patel's wife was killed in the incident, his children are being treated in a Raipur hospital. After getting a call on his mobile phone from Patel, Station House Officer Vikas Thakur of the Kotwali police station, rushed to the officer's official residence at Saket colony, the state home minister said.
He found Patel and his wife Pratima lying in a pool of blood inside their bedroom, besides a pistol in Patel's hand, with empty bullet shells on the floor. His son Aryan (6) was found severely injured on the bed, beside his mother, while his daughter Poonam (10) was also found lying in a pool of blood, he said.
Later, a doctor declared Patel and his wife dead, while their children were admitted to a Raipur hospital, he said. Doctors at the Ramkrishna Care Hospital said that the condition of both the children was serious.
Poonam has undergone surgery and blood has been continuously oozing from her bullet wounds and her spine has been damaged. Her brother Aryan has sustained injuries on his stomach and thigh, a doctor said.
A team of doctors are trying to stabilise the kids, though it would be too soon to comment on anything, the doctor said.
