His body was found hanging from a nylon rope with the help of a beam in the room of Kashi Kailash Bhawan located in Devnathpura on Thursday evening. The forensic team and dog squad that arrived along with the police investigated the spot.
50 year old Konda Babu, resident of Dharmagudu Street Mandapeta in East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, came to Varanasi on December 3 with his wife 45 year old Lavanya, sons 25 year old Rajesh and 23 year old Jayaraj. Ramtarak was staying on the second floor of Kailash Bhawan, a branch of Andhra Ashram. He had to leave the room at nine o’clock on Thursday morning. He had given this information to ashram director VV Sundar Shastri and others. When Pushpa, the cleaning lady in the ashram, reached the second floor at 9.30 in the morning to clean, the door of the room was closed. Thinking that everyone would be sleeping, she went back. When she went again at five in the evening, she still found the room closed.
He informed this to the engineer looking after the ashram. Both of them tried to open the room upstairs, but despite many efforts the door did not open. Suspiciously, I looked through the window and saw the husband, wife and two sons hanging from the noose. This information was given to the police along with the ashram operator. The police reached the spot and entered inside by breaking the door of the room and found that all the bodies had been frozen. Due to this, it is suspected that he might have hanged himself late at night or early in the morning.
According to Police Commissioner Mutha Ashok Jain, the family had a dispute over money and had left their village and were living here and there for the last two months.
helped each other in death
Konda Babu’s entire family had decided to embrace death. They also helped each other in this. The room where all four were staying had two folding cots and a wooden bed. There was a wooden chair, which everyone used to tie a nylon rope to a hook on an iron beam and hang themselves while standing on it. It was clear from the situation at the scene that they had hanged themselves one after the other.
Rajesh hanged himself at the end
The wooden chair with the help of which everyone had committed suicide had fallen near the dead body of Rajesh. It is being speculated that he might have hanged himself at the end. Police believe that Lavanya would be the first to hang herself. Her husband and two sons must have helped her. After this, Jayaraj (23 years) committed suicide, then Konda Babu and finally Rajesh hanged himself. They kept watching each other’s death.
Complete arrangements were made for death
The four who hanged themselves had decided to sacrifice their lives. He had brought a nylon rope for hanging. Insecticide was found in bottles with water in the room, from which it can be assumed that he might have drank pesticide earlier. It was decided to cut the vein of the hand with a blade so that no one’s life could be saved. A new blade was also brought for this. Rajesh had also cut the vein of his left hand. A blade was found with the remaining three.
Everyone got vaccinated before death
Before death everyone meditated on God and vaccinated each other. Everyone had a red tilak on their forehead. The vaccine was kept in a polythene in the room. Even the rope he chose while hanging himself had a pattern. Lavanya and Jayaraj had a blue colored rope around their necks and Konda Babu and Rajesh had a yellow colored rope around their necks. The hanging was also done in such a way that everyone’s faces were facing each other.
Couldn’t understand the secret of the hook
The family committed suicide by hanging themselves from a hook attached to an iron beam. The four hooks were placed as if they were forming a square. This type of hook is used to hang the fan. In other rooms there is only one hook on which the fan was attached, but in this room no one could explain why there were four more hooks apart from the fan. There is also a suspicion that these hooks may have been set by the family of the person who committed suicide with the intention of committing suicide. So that they can embrace death together.
Two and a half page suicide note found
Police found a two and a half page suicide note in the room. The police tried to get more information about the family by getting the Susadat note written in Telugu read by an expert in the language. It was revealed that the family had taken Rs 12 lakh from some people for the business. Of these, six lakh rupees were spent. Those who gave the money were pressurizing them to take it back. The family was under stress due to this. The suicide note has been sealed by the forensic team.
The family had been leaving home and roaming around for two months.
According to the Police Commissioner, the family that committed suicide had left their village and were wandering here and there for the last two months. At last everyone came to Varanasi and committed suicide here.
