A mother’s desperate search ended in unimaginable sorrow in Bihar’s Muzaffarpur, where police unearthed the bodies of her and three innocent children from a hidden location. The quadruple murder has gripped the district, with investigators racing against time to identify perpetrators in what appears to be a premeditated attack.
The victims—a woman in her late 20s and her three school-going kids—disappeared from their home in a bustling locality late Monday. Initial assumptions of a runaway case evaporated when the bodies surfaced Wednesday dawn in an abandoned plot amid sugarcane fields. Eyewitnesses described a tense scene as police cordoned off the area, with forensic teams meticulously scanning for clues under harsh sunlight.
Medical experts noted ligature marks and head injuries, pointing to a violent end. Blood samples and DNA traces have been sent for lab analysis, while police dogs aided in tracing potential escape routes of suspects. Over a dozen teams are now fanning out across Muzaffarpur and adjoining districts, checking criminal records and verifying alibis.
Family members, still in shock, recounted the woman’s amicable relations with all, dismissing early motives like elopement. ‘She was a devoted mother; who could do this to them?’ lamented a relative. Senior cops have invoked stringent sections of IPC, including murder and kidnapping, with rewards announced for tips.
This incident amplifies fears in Bihar’s heartland, where similar unresolved cases linger. Activists urge installation of more surveillance and patrolling, while political fingers point at governance lapses. With public pressure mounting, police vow comprehensive disclosures soon, aiming to restore faith in the system.
