Father and son die in Jharsuguda after prank gone wrong
Bhubaneswar, Sept 20: In a tragic incident, a 14-year-old boy lost his life while pretending to hang himself with a saree in an attempt to scare his sister during a quarrel. The tragedy worsened when his grief-stricken father took his own life just hours later, unable to cope with the loss.
The heartbreaking events unfolded in the Lamptibahal area under Brajarajnagar police limits in Jharsuguda district.
According to reports, Rohan Singh had a fight with his sister and, in an attempt to frighten her, pretended to hang himself using their mother’s saree. Sadly, the act turned fatal. Rohan’s horrified sister quickly informed their family, who rushed him to Mandalia Central Hospital. However, doctors pronounced him dead on arrival.
Devastated by his son's death, Rohan’s father, Jhasaketan Singh (40), took his own life late Thursday night by hanging himself. His body was discovered by family members the following morning.
The Brajarajnagar police were informed and have sent the father’s body for post-mortem examination.
