One night in Jhunjhunu, one shattered family: Suicide of a youth raised many unresolved questions

Burane Village (Jhunjhunu) – There is a deep silence in Burane village of Jhunjhunu district of Shekhawati region these days. The mysterious suicide of a young man in the village has shocked everyone.While on one hand the family is immersed in grief, on the other hand the villagers are still struggling with the question – why did he take such a step?
There has been a rise in the number of suicide cases in the area in recent times. This incident once again raises questions about the importance of mental health and family communication.

What happened that night?

This tragic incident happened on the third of the month. At around 9:30 pm, the young man returned home. After staying for a while, he went out again. His father was driving a tractor in the field at that time. By the time he returned, all the members of the house were asleep.
At around 11:30 or 12:30 at night, the young man returned with his uncle’s son. The uncle’s son went to sleep at his uncle’s house, and the young man went to his room. He looked a little sad at that time, but he did not say anything.
He went straight to his room, took off his clothes and shoes, and quietly lay down on the bed. The family assumed he was tired and sleeping. No one had any idea what was going on in his mind.
The family says that there was no fight with anyone, no financial dispute, nor any problem regarding any love affair. That is why it is even more surprising that why did this happen despite everything being normal?

The horrifying scene seen through the eyes of the sister

At around 1 am, the young man’s sister was heating milk for her three-month-old baby. Since the powdered milk needed to be heated and the milk had cooled down due to the cooler, she went to another room to warm it again.
Then his eyes fell on the light in the outer room. He thought, “Why is the light on so late at night?”
When she reached that room with the mobile’s flashlight, she was shocked by what she saw. Her brother was hanging from the noose there.
She screamed loudly. Later she said that she was so scared that she could only see her brother’s tongue and she did not even remember what was tied to her head.

A small room, a big secret

The room in which this incident happened was just 10×10 feet. The most shocking thing was that the young man’s feet were just one foot above the ground, and there was also one foot of empty space between the floor and the fan.
This fact gives rise to many questions. Was it suicide or something else? The family and villagers are still looking for answers to these questions.
