A chilling patricide case has stunned Korba, Chhattisgarh, where 27-year-old Geeta Kevat allegedly slit her father Ashok Kumar Kevat’s throat after a late-night clash. The 55-year-old’s body was discovered in Limamunda Basti, Raliya village, prompting a full police inquiry.
The family rift dated back eight years, triggered by Ashok’s persistent accusations against his wife and eldest daughter’s morals. They had since resided independently in Korba’s Adil Chowk, with two daughters employed and one studying.
February 9 brought them back to the village for land deal formalities. Tension boiled over at 2 AM when Ashok hurled insults at Geeta during an argument. Enraged, she wielded a house sickle, delivering a fatal cut to his throat.
Geeta’s stark confession to relatives—I’ve killed him—alerted the family. Uncle Santosh found the grim scene, alerting authorities. Hardi Bazar police detained her promptly, postmortem underway.
Ashok’s alcoholism reportedly exacerbated home wars. Further scrutiny examines Geeta’s YouTube and social media activity, notably a video with a man that ignited prior cyber probes. This incident serves as a stark reminder of how alcohol, suspicion, and unspoken grudges can culminate in tragedy, demanding urgent societal reflection on family dynamics.
