Rajgir, Bihar – A chilling mystery unfolds as four tourists from Bengaluru met a grim fate, found suspended by ropes in a single room at the historic Digambar Jain Dharmshala. The two men and two women, ardent Jains, had come to explore the town’s ancient wonders before the unthinkable occurred.
Their journey: Nepal sightseeing followed by Bihar on January 31. Last spotted February 2, the room fell eerily quiet. Friday’s foul stench from Room 6AB broke the silence, summoning police who uncovered the bodies in a state of decomposition.
Aadhaar records name A.R. Nag Prasad among them; others pending verification. The confined space amplifies the puzzle – was it a group decision, altercation gone wrong, or darker plot?
Swift response: Perimeter locked, room sealed, FSL experts on-site. Digital footprints from phones and CCTV, plus travel logs, form the investigative backbone. No stone unturned in this multi-angle probe.
Autopsies hold the key to truth. Meanwhile, dharmshala management faces scrutiny over oversight. This incident shatters Rajgir’s image as a peaceful retreat, prompting calls for enhanced monitoring in pilgrim lodgings. Updates as they emerge.
