Patna: In the Bhagalpur district of Bihar, five members of a family—including a woman constable—were discovered dead, an official reported on Tuesday.
The dead bodies were found in the district’s police quarters, which led to the discovery of this incident. Neetu Kumari, a constable, her spouse Pankaj Kumar, their two kids, and Pankaj’s mother were among the deceased.
The incident appears to be related to a family disagreement, which could be the main cause of the incident, according to Vivekanand, the Deputy Inspector General for the Bhagalpur area. District police found out about the event on Tuesday morning, but it most likely happened on Monday night.
“A suicide note, believed to be written by Pankaj Kumar, was found at the scene. Pankaj was discovered hanging from a ceiling fan. The preliminary investigation suggests that Pankaj Kumar may have murdered his wife, Neetu Kumari, his mother, and their two children before taking his own life,” he said.

Neetu Kumari had been serving as a constable since 2015 and was residing in the police line with her family. She and Pankaj Kumar had a love marriage and were raising their two children together. Pankaj’s mother also lived with them in the official quarters.
“The incident appears to have stemmed from ongoing marital issues between Neetu Kumari and her husband, Pankaj Kumar. Recently, their relationship had deteriorated due to Pankaj’s suspicions that Neetu was involved in an extramarital affair. These suspicions led to frequent quarrels, including one in the evening before the incident. However, Neetu did not report the matter to the police,” Vivekanand said.
According to the officials, the victims originally hailed from the Buxar district. The other family members have been notified. Meanwhile, the police are conducting an investigation to gather more information and shed light on the events leading up to this horrifying incident.
