Tension erupted in Ujanihai Tola under Garh police station area after a woman died in suspicious circumstances following an alleged family dispute that started over a dog.

Mamta Tiwari, wife of Ramesh Tiwari, was rushed to Sanjay Gandhi Hospital on the night of June 27 in critical condition. She succumbed during treatment. Her family has accused relatives Rinku Tiwari, Neelu Tiwari, and Neelam Tiwari of assaulting her and administering poison.

According to Mamta’s son Arjun Tiwari, the dispute began when a row broke out over a dog between the two sides of the family. What started as an argument soon turned violent. The family alleged that the accused beat Mamta and forced her to consume poison, leading to her deteriorating health.

A video of Mamta recorded before her death has surfaced. In it, she is seen accusing Rinku, Neelu, and Neelam of assaulting her. Police are treating the video as an important piece of evidence in the investigation.

This was not the first clash between the families. On June 2, Mamta had filed a complaint at Garh police station mentioning the ongoing dispute over the dog along with old enmity and land-related issues. The complaint suggests long-standing tension between the two families.

Garh police have registered a case based on the family’s complaint and launched an investigation. Officers said the exact cause of death will only be clear after the postmortem report. They are examining the video statement, the previous complaint, and other evidence.

Senior officers are supervising the case. Further details are awaited as the probe continues.

Such family disputes turning fatal have been reported occasionally in the region. Police said they are working to establish the full sequence of events and will take strict action based on findings.

The incident has left the local community shocked. For now, the focus remains on the postmortem and detailed investigation to uncover the truth behind Mamta Tiwari’s death.

Aditi Maurya (28), a married woman found dead at her in‑laws’ home here, has left relatives alleging foul play after they spotted multiple injuries on her body. The city police have registered a case and begun forensic probes; the husband, however, told investigators that Aditi hanged herself.

Aditi, originally from Madhupur in Sonbhadra (UP), married 33‑year‑old Ravikant Maurya in February 2019. The couple had a 13‑month‑old daughter. Police said the body was recovered on the night of June 23 from the house on Dayalband Madhuban Road in Bilaspur’s City Kotwali area and sent for post‑mortem. The family conducted the post‑mortem in the presence of relatives, officials said.

What police say

• The husband told police he was sleeping in the upper room with the child and on coming downstairs found Aditi on the bed. He alleged she had tried to hang herself with a silk saree but the noose broke and she fell.

• Authorities registered the matter as a suspicious death (MURG) and the scene was sealed. The FSL team collected evidence from the room and nearby areas, a senior officer said. Investigations are continuing and formal legal action will follow the post‑mortem report.

Family alleges assault and murder
Aditi’s family, however, has accused the husband and in‑laws of killing her. Her brother Akhilesh Verma told police that Aditi had faced physical and mental harassment since the marriage and often complained about abuse during phone calls to her maternal home. Relatives said contacts with Aditi had reduced in recent days, and phone calls to her were often unanswered.

Brothers and other family members claimed visible injuries on Aditi’s body. They said bruises and marks were present on her hands, neck, legs and ear — signs they say are inconsistent with hanging. The family has demanded an impartial investigation and the registration of FIRs against the husband, mother‑in‑law, sister‑in‑law and other relatives.

Dispute over alleged affair and earlier conflict
Police sources said a dispute over the husband’s alleged relationship with another woman had caused friction between the couple. Aditi’s brother Abhishek alleged that she had recorded a video of chats from Ravikant’s phone and sent it to her elder sister a week earlier; family members said that argument may have escalated.

Relatives also said there was a physical altercation on June 23 before Aditi was found unconscious, and that they were informed of her condition only after others alerted them. The family rushed from Uttar Pradesh to Bilaspur when they learned of the incident.

Evidence collection and next steps
The Forensic Science Laboratory team collected samples and material evidence from the scene, and the police completed the panchanama before sending the body for post‑mortem. Officials said biological and circumstantial evidence, along with witness statements and the post‑mortem report, will determine whether death was due to suicide, accidental injury or homicide.

“Post‑mortem findings and forensic reports will be decisive. We are probing all angles, including the family’s allegations,” Additional SP City Pankaj Patel told reporters. The officer added that the investigation will follow legal procedures and action will be taken based on evidence.

Why this matters
The case highlights recurring concerns around domestic strife, alleged marital abuse and demands for transparent probes in suspicious deaths. Families in such cases often call for swift, independent forensic verification to rule out foul play and ensure accountability.

What’s awaited
Authorities said they will release findings after the complete post‑mortem and forensic reports are available. The police have not yet named any accused; they urged family members to cooperate and refrain from public accusations until the investigation progresses.

Focus remains on whether injuries on the body match the husband’s account and on any digital or medical evidence that can clarify events leading up to Aditi’s death. Relatives continue to press for an FIR against the in‑laws and for a fair, speedy probe.

A tense situation emerged in Rewa district on Monday after an elderly man was found dead under suspicious circumstances in Sav village under Chorhata police station limits. The deceased was identified as Tej Pratap Kushwaha, a local resident who reportedly ran a vegetable shop in the village.

According to family members, Kushwaha had been missing for the last two days. His body was later discovered in a field near the village, triggering outrage among relatives and local residents. The incident quickly drew public attention as villagers demanded immediate action and raised serious allegations of murder linked to an ongoing land dispute. The case has become part of the Latest News Today developments in Madhya Pradesh because of rising tension and allegations surrounding the death.

Family Alleges Murder

Relatives of the deceased alleged that Tej Pratap Kushwaha was attacked due to a land dispute. Family members claimed he was assaulted and acid was allegedly thrown on him before his death. The family stated that Kushwaha had earlier received threats connected to the property dispute and had previously faced violent confrontations. Relatives also alleged that repeated complaints and earlier incidents of assault were not acted upon strictly, which allegedly emboldened the accused persons. Villagers demanded a fair investigation and immediate arrest of those suspected in the case.

Villagers Demand Action

Following the recovery of the body, a large number of villagers gathered near the spot and expressed anger against the administration and police. Family members warned of a road blockade on the Rewa-Semaria route if immediate arrests were not made. Protesters also demanded that the District Collector and Superintendent of Police reach the village and address their concerns directly. According to local residents, family members had briefly protested earlier in the day but agreed to disperse after assurances from officials. However, dissatisfaction over the pace of action reportedly led to fresh warnings of agitation. Police officials are continuing discussions with villagers to prevent escalation of tension in the area.

Police Force Deployed

After receiving information about the incident, police personnel were deployed in the village to maintain law and order. Officials stated that security arrangements were strengthened as a precautionary measure considering the tense atmosphere. Authorities said senior officers are monitoring the situation closely and trying to ensure that protests remain peaceful. Police officials also appealed to villagers not to spread rumours until the investigation and postmortem findings are completed. The administration is attempting to maintain normalcy while simultaneously conducting the inquiry into the death.

Land Dispute Under Probe

Preliminary investigation suggests that a property-related dispute may have existed between the deceased and some local individuals. However, police officials have not officially confirmed the murder allegations raised by the family. Investigators are reportedly questioning several people connected to the dispute and collecting evidence from the area where the body was found.

Officials said the exact circumstances leading to Kushwaha’s death would become clearer after medical examination and forensic analysis. The matter is being treated as a sensitive Public Interest Story due to the allegations of violence and the possibility of local unrest.

Postmortem Report Awaited

Chorhata police station in-charge Pawan Shukla said the exact cause of death would be determined only after the postmortem report is received. Police officials stated that all allegations made by the family are being examined carefully and appropriate legal action will be taken based on evidence collected during the investigation. Sources indicated that forensic experts may also be involved if required during further stages of the inquiry. Officials maintained that no conclusions should be drawn until the medical and investigative reports are finalised.
