Ajmer Superintendent of Police Harshvardhan Agrawala said the case is being treated as a murder. According to the initial investigation, Ram Singh’s first wife, along with their minor son and daughter, allegedly planned the killings.
Police believe the murders were linked to an ongoing family dispute. Officials suspect the victims were attacked with a sharp weapon before their bodies were placed inside the vehicle. The car was then allegedly set on fire to destroy evidence.
The SP said special police teams are investigating every part of the case and more details are expected soon.
During the investigation, police teams and forensic experts examined Ram Singh’s house and nearby areas. Officers reportedly found blood stains on two bricks inside the house. Police also noticed signs that parts of the house and courtyard had been washed recently.
Investigators believe a violent struggle may have taken place before the bodies were moved to the car.
Police are questioning Ram Singh’s first wife, son and several relatives as part of the investigation.
Police revealed that Ram Singh had earlier requested security, claiming he faced danger due to personal rivalry. He was provided security in 2024, but it was later withdrawn.
After the incident, questions are being raised over whether stronger protection could have prevented the tragedy.
The bodies have been sent for post-mortem examination. Police said the final cause of death and sequence of events will become clearer after forensic reports arrive.
The brutal nature of the incident has shocked local residents. Villagers gathered near the area after news spread and demanded a fair and transparent investigation.
Many said they trust the police to uncover the truth behind the killings and ensure strict action against those responsible.
The investigation is currently underway.
