A woman allegedly entered an STF colony residence in Chhattisgarh’s Durg district and stabbed a constable’s wife and son to death, while injuring two daughters. Police have detained the accused and launched a detailed probe into the CG Murder Case.

Attack Inside STF Colony

A double murder inside the STF Colony under Supela police station limits in Durg district on Saturday morning triggered panic and raised serious security concerns in the area.

According to officials, a 25-year-old woman allegedly entered the residence of STF constable Lalitesh Yadav and attacked his family with a knife. The assault left his wife Reena Yadav and their nine-year-old son dead, while two daughters sustained serious injuries.

The incident took place at around 8 am when Lalitesh Yadav had reportedly gone to the railway station for work.

Family Caught Off Guard

Police said Reena Yadav was at home with her four children when the accused entered the house. Investigators believe the family had little time to react before the attack began.

Initial findings suggest the attacker first targeted the sleeping nine-year-old boy and stabbed him multiple times. She then turned on Reena Yadav and attacked her with the same weapon.

The assault unfolded within minutes, leaving the house soaked in blood and the family in shock.

Mother Tried Resisting

During the attack, Reena Yadav reportedly tried to stop the assailant and held her by the leg in an attempt to save her children.

According to local accounts, she asked her daughters to run. One of the girls managed to escape and alert neighbours, while another hid inside a bathroom to avoid the attack.

Both girls suffered injuries and were admitted to hospital. Doctors said their condition remains serious, though stable.

Neighbours Overpowered Accused

Residents rushed to the house after hearing distress calls and managed to overpower the accused before police arrived.

Locals reportedly snatched the knife from her and informed police. Officers from Supela police station reached the spot and took the woman into custody.

Police identified the accused as Sarojini Bhardwaj, 25, a native of Janjgir district who had been living in a rented accommodation in Durg.

Probe Into Motive

Investigators said the motive behind the attack is still under examination. However, police are probing the possibility of a personal dispute and suspected relationship-related tensions.

Sources indicated the accused had visited the same house a day earlier, but was allegedly sent back after a brief exchange with the family.

Police have not officially confirmed the nature of the relationship between the accused and the victim’s family. Officers said all angles, including personal conflict and prior interactions, are being examined in the CG Murder Case.

Police Register Case

BhilaI City Superintendent of Police Satyaprakash Tiwari said a case of murder and attempt to murder has been registered.

According to officials, forensic teams examined the crime scene and collected evidence from the house. Police are also recording statements from neighbours, family members and the injured children.

The accused remains in custody and is being questioned to establish the sequence of events and motive behind the attack.

Security Questions Raised

The CG Murder Case has sparked fear in the STF residential colony and renewed concern over security inside police housing areas.

Residents questioned how an outsider managed to enter the premises and carry out a fatal attack in broad daylight. The case has also drawn attention to the risks posed by unresolved personal disputes escalating into violent crime.

As the investigation continues, police are expected to reconstruct the timeline, verify the accused’s movements and establish the exact trigger behind the attack
