The mangled body of a police sub-inspector (SI) was recovered from railway tracks in Bhopal late night yesterday, while the bodies of his wife and son, with their throats slit, were found lying inside the SI’s house on Saturday morning.
Initial police investigations suggest that the SI allegedly slit the throats of his wife and one-year-old son and later committed suicide by jumping in front of a speeding train.
According to the police, the body of SI Suresh Khagude (32) was found on the railway tracks in the Misrod area at around 11.45 PM on Friday. He was posted in the Special Branch (SB) of the Police Headquarters (PHQ) in Bhopal and had left from his home in Kolar area for work yesterday evening.
When police tried to contact Khagude’s family, no one replied on the numbers called. Subsequently, a police team was sent to the SI’s house in the Kolar area of the city.
However, when the police reached there, they found the bodies of the SI’s wife Krishna (28) and son Ivaan soaked in blood with their throats slit with some sharp edged weapon. Police reportedly recovered a meat-chopping knife from the crime scene.
Police have not yet found any suicide note and are trying to ascertain what led to the incidents. All three bodies were sent for postmortem.
According to reports, Suresh Khagude was from Agar-Malwa district of MP and was recruited as an SI in the 2017 batch of MP Police.
Sources said Suresh got married to Krishna in 2018, which was a love marriage.
