A man absconding after his wife and three daughters' murders was arrested Sunday. Rahul Jha was tracked down using CCTV footage and information from hotel staff. He confessed to the murders, citing family discord and strained relationships. Police recovered blood-stained clothes and his switched-off mobile phone from the home. The accused was brought to Jaipur after his apprehension in Reengus.
On Friday morning, a 45-year-old man from Jaipur named Rahul Jha was involved in a gruesome triple murder at his home in the Kardhani area. He fled the scene and was later arrested outside a hotel in Reengus town of Sikar district. Jha had initially sought divine blessings at Khatu Shyam Ji before checking into a nearby hotel.
Sources say Jha ran out of money for daily expenses and left the hotel, making his way to Reengus. A special police team positioned themselves outside the Reengus hotel after receiving information about his movements. Officers in plainclothes apprehended him as he was leaving the hotel, face covered in a handkerchief.
Jha has confessed to the murders of his wife Geeta (40) and their three daughters Nandani (23), Radhika (17) and Gauri (14). The police found his blood-stained clothes and mobile phone at their family home in Govind Vatika. The motive behind the killings was attributed to discord within the family, with particular strains in Jha's relationship with his wife and eldest daughter.
