Tragic Incident in Jodhpur: Sisters Die Hours Before Wedding
In a devastating turn of events, two sisters, both engaged to be married, passed away just hours before their wedding in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, on Saturday. The deceased have been identified as Shobha, aged 25, and Vimla, aged 23, residents of Manai village. Both women were employed as teachers at a private school, adding to the profound sense of loss in their community.
Events Leading to the Tragedy
According to ADCP (West) Roshan Meena, wedding celebrations had been ongoing at the sisters' home until late Friday night. Around midnight, Shobha and Vimla retired to their room to sleep. However, their health took a sudden and severe downturn at approximately 4 am. Family members, alarmed by their condition, immediately rushed them to a private hospital in Jodhpur. Tragically, both sisters were declared dead upon arrival at the medical facility.
Police Intervention and Investigation
In the aftermath, the family brought the bodies back home and began preparations for the last rites without conducting a postmortem. Upon receiving this information, police officers arrived at the scene around 6 am. They intervened to halt the cremation and transferred the bodies to the MGH mortuary for an autopsy. After the procedure, the remains were subsequently handed over to the grieving family.
A preliminary investigation by authorities has indicated that the sisters may have ingested a poisonous substance. As of late Saturday, no suicide note had been recovered from the location. Police are currently awaiting the official postmortem report to determine the precise cause of death, which will be crucial in shedding light on this tragic incident.
The sudden loss of Shobha and Vimla has cast a shadow over what was meant to be a joyous occasion, leaving their family and community in deep mourning as investigations continue.
