In Bardolav village, Mokhampura near Jaipur, Rajasthan, Soni Gurjar, a widowed mother of two, and Kailash Gurjar, a married man, were in a secret romantic relationship. On November 29, 2025, after 11:00 PM, Soni secretly left her home to meet Kailash at an elevated platform (machan) in his fenced field. Soni's relatives—her brother-in-law Ganesh Gurjar and her uncle-in-law Birdichand Gurjar—followed her to the field. Upon finding the couple together, Ganesh and Birdichand allegedly tied them to the iron platform, poured petrol over them, and set them ablaze. Villagers alerted by the disturbance helped extinguish the flames and rushed both victims to Sawai Man Singh Hospital in Jaipur with critical burn injuries. While undergoing treatment, both Soni and Kailash provided dying declarations to the police explicitly naming Ganesh Gurjar and Birdichand Gurjar as the perpetrators. Kailash, who suffered over 70% burn injuries, died on December 2, 2025, at around 3:00 AM. Jaipur Rural Police under SP Rashi Dogra arrested both suspects. Investigating authorities noted that in addition to opposition to the affair, the families harbored deep enmity following an elopement a year earlier between Ganesh's daughter and Kailash's nephew.

जलता Boyfriend जली हुई Girlfriend की बॉडी लेकर खेत में भागता रहा! Couple को मचान से बांध बनाया चिता
Family Opposition
This case illustrates severe honor-based violence and family dispute escalation. When relatives discovered an extra-marital relationship that challenged family norms and social honor, they reacted with lethal, calculated violence. The violence was further fueled by existing inter-family hostility resulting from a previous elopement between relatives of both households.
Jaipur Rural Police led by SP Rashi Dogra inspected the crime scene, collecting scientific evidence from the burnt iron platform and fencing. Both victims named Ganesh Gurjar and Birdichand Gurjar in their dying declarations before police and medical personnel at Sawai Man Singh Hospital. Following Kailash Gurjar's death on December 2, 2025, police charges were updated to include homicide alongside attempted murder.
Initial confusion centered on whether the crime was triggered solely by the immediate discovery of the secret meeting or if it was primarily driven by long-standing revenge over a romantic elopement between the two families that occurred a year earlier.
Soni Gurjar left her residence late at night to meet Kailash Gurjar at an elevated platform in his fenced field. Soni's brother-in-law Ganesh and uncle-in-law Birdichand secretly followed her, discovered the couple, tied them securely to the iron structure, doused them in petrol, and ignited the fire. Local villagers doused the flames and rushed the severely burned victims to Sawai Man Singh Hospital, where dying declarations were recorded that led directly to the arrest of both suspects.
Secret late-night meetings combined with severe family disapproval and pre-existing inter-family feuds created extreme danger for the victims. The physical isolation of the field platform enabled the perpetrators to ambush, restrain, and immolate the couple without immediate intervention.
Severe family opposition mixed with perceived honor violations and inter-family grudges can escalate into extreme premeditated violence. Swift recording of dying declarations proved vital for suspect identification and formal arrest.
Secret nocturnal meetings, persistent family disapproval of the relationship, and ongoing inter-family tension stemming from a previous romantic elopement.
The burnt iron platform (machan), damaged field fencing, petrol containers found at the scene, and matching dying declarations from both victims.
Dying declarations recorded from both victims in the hospital directly implicating Ganesh Gurjar and Birdichand Gurjar, backed by scientific forensic evidence from the burnt platform.
In their dying declarations recorded at Sawai Man Singh Hospital, Soni Gurjar and Kailash Gurjar explicitly stated that Ganesh Gurjar and Birdichand Gurjar followed Soni to the field, tied them to the platform, and set them on fire using petrol.
Kailash Gurjar succumbed to his 70%+ burn injuries at 3:00 AM on December 2, 2025, converting the primary charge into a completed homicide investigation.
The ultimate medical outcome for Soni Gurjar, who remains in critical condition with severe burns, and further police findings regarding exact procurement of petrol prior to the assault.
