Two children's bodies found inside car

After learning about Dhakad's death, police searched a car parked at the railway station. They found the bodies of his two sons inside the vehicle.

According to Pawar, the children were found between the seats, covered with a bedsheet. A preliminary examination revealed marks on their necks that were consistent with strangulation, he said.

Police are awaiting the post-mortem reports to establish the cause of the children's deaths. The circumstances leading to the incident remain unclear, and investigators are examining the available evidence.

Brother shares details of outing

A PTI report, citing Dhakad's brother Pratap Singh Dhakad, said the revenue official had brought his two children to Pipariya on the pretext of taking them to watch a film.

Police said Dhakad parked the car at the railway station before heading towards the tracks. The children's bodies were discovered when officers subsequently searched the vehicle.

Investigators have not yet established why Dhakad allegedly took his own life or what led to the deaths of the two boys.

The post-mortem findings are expected to help establish the cause of the children's deaths as the investigation continues. Police are examining the sequence of events surrounding the incident.
