Officials have filed a murder case against Yashrajsinh Gohil, who was found dead in a shooting incident at his home, where he allegedly shot his wife, Rajeshwariba, before taking his own life. The tragic event occurred on January 21 at their residence in NRI Tower on Judges Bungalow Road in Ahmedabad.
Yashrajsinh, who was the nephew of Congress MP Shaktisinh Gohil, had recently married Rajeshwariba. Reports indicate that the couple seemed normal before the incident, having returned from a social gathering.
Initially, it was suspected that the deaths were accidental, possibly due to a misfire. However, further investigations, including forensic and post-mortem examinations, revealed that Rajeshwariba died from a gunshot wound to the head, leading to a reassessment of the case.
Police confirmed that the revolver used in the incident required intentional trigger pressure to discharge, ruling out accidental firing. The discovery of only two bullets in the revolver raised additional questions for investigators. Authorities are now scrutinizing the couple’s mobile phones and technical evidence, as well as the CCTV footage from nearby cameras.
ACP (A Division) Jayesh Bhrambhatt, the complainant in the case, mentioned that while initial statements leaned towards an accidental discharge, forensic evidence contradicted this. Emergency services were alerted around 11.42 p.m., arriving promptly to find Rajeshwariba deceased with a gunshot wound. Yashrajsinh reportedly took his own life in the presence of his mother and medical responders.
No prior conflicts or complaints involving the couple have been reported. The investigation remains ongoing, with forensic and technical analyses still in progress.
