A 24-year-old government teacher allegedly stabbed his 32-year-old woman colleague to death before committing suicide reportedly over an affair between the two in Chhattisgarh's Bilaspur district police said on Tuesday.
"The contractual 'shikshakarmi' (teacher) Divyanshu Khare killed his married colleague Savita Dubey in front of her five-year-old daughter at her house in Sarju Bagicha area of the town," Bilaspur Additional Superintendent of Police, Vijay Pandey said. Both Khare and Dubey were posted in a high school at Sendri village as shikshakarmi teachers, he said.
According to the ASP, the incident took place when the victim's husband, Bhagwan Dubey, who is a newspaper agent, had left his home for work in the morning. Khare, a native of Takhatpur, barged into Dubey's house and started arguing with her over some issue. "Later, he allegedly attacked her with a knife kept at her house and stabbed her several times on her neck and chest and then slit his own wrist," Pandey said, adding both of them died at the spot.
On hearing screams of the woman, her neighbours reached the spot and noticed blood flowing out from inside the house, following which they broke open the door only to find the duo lying in a pool of blood, and informed police, Pandey said.
A police team rushed to the spot and the bodies were sent for postmortem, he said. Preliminary investigation has revealed that the duo came close as they were working in same school. "Khare used to visit Dubey's house frequently. Even her husband had once warned Khare to stay away from his wife," the officer said.
The victim's daughter Anushka was present at the spot at the time of the incident and police has recorded her statement, he said. A case is registered in this regard, the officer said.
