Two sisters, Anjali Rawat, 35, and Sita Rawat, 40, died by suicide along with four of their children in Shivpuri district, Madhya Pradesh, on Wednesday. Anjali, who was eight months pregnant, jumped into a well in Goongargaon village with her six-year-old son, Prashant, and three daughters; the son and unborn child died, while the daughters survived. Around six hours later, Sita jumped into a well in Khonkar village with her three children — Rakhi, 14, Priyanka, 11, and Shlok, 6 — all of whom died.
Anjali’s husband, Dharamveer Singh Rawat, had died in a road accident about a month and a half ago, and she was reportedly under distress. Sita’s family said the sisters were close and spoke frequently, though her motive remains unclear. Police in Baraad and Kolaras confirmed the recovery of the bodies and stated that investigations into both incidents are ongoing.
