A horrific case has emerged from Bharuch in Gujarat involving a man who killed his 12-year-old son and threw himself under a train after his wife committed suicide by hanging. The woman was in an extra-marital relationship with her Muslim gym trainer which led to fights between the married couple. Now, a letter written by her husband has surfaced in which he has stated that a case of love jihad has to be filed against her lover.
Senior section engineer Jatin Makwana lived in Bholav Colony in Bharuch with his spouse and son. Jatin’s body was found on the railway track near Surwadi. He killed himself by jumping in front of the Avantika Superfast Express near Surwadi gate. It was uncovered after a probe that he also wrote a suicide note to his father expressing his intention to end his life after killing his kid due to his spouse’s illicit affair with Raja Shaikh, a gym trainer from Ahmedabad. The couple had regular arguments over the matter but despite his continuous requests, she continued to talk to Raja Sheikh.
Jatin’s father reportedly stated that his son had moved from Ahmedabad to Bharuch four months ago, according to Divya Bhaskar’s report. His wife Tripal used to go to the gym when they were living in Ahmedabad, where she befriended Raja Sheikh and that eventually developed into an adulterous romance. She was taken to her house in Junagadh by Jatin when he learned about the matter, but brought her back on 12th June.
Tripal and Raja Sheikh apparently continued their romance even after the family moved to Bharuch, which resulted in further disputes between the husband and wife. Tripal had promised Jatin that she wouldn’t speak to Raja Sheikh ever again, but on 18th June she spent thirty minutes talking to Sheikh.
On 19th June, Tripal tried to end her life by consuming poison but she survived. She had often threatened to take her own life. According to reports, Jatin gave his father call details that showed chats that took place over 60 hours between 1st and 19th June. He voiced the possibility that this conversation might have happened with gym trainer Raja Sheikh.
Jatin also said that Raja Sheikh’s mother also spoke to Tripal and stated that she could come to their house if her husband threw her out and in the suicide note charged that Sheikh’s mother was also guilty in the case.
Jatin wrote a letter to his father on 22nd June
It was uncovered after Jatin’s passing that he had also written a 12-page letter to his parents and family members on 22nd June discussing Sheikh’s clandestine relationship with his wife. Jatin wrote, “Tripal has ruined my life, Vihaan’s life, and all of ours, but Dad, do not spare Raja Sheikh. File a case of love jihad against him. This is his only work. Today my life is ruined, tomorrow it will happen to someone else. So don’t spare Raja Sheikh, and I also ask the law of the land that he should not be spared as he has ruined my life.”
He further wrote, “V-Fitness gym has been closed, but B-Strong gym, located in Vastral, should also be closed because these gyms are involved in similar activities. Muslim people trap Hindu girls by posing as gym trainers and ruin their lives. So, for my soul to find peace, Raja Sheikh should receive the harshest punishment, and such activities in gyms should be stopped. It is Raja Sheikh who has ruined mine and Tripal’s life.”
He added, “If Tripal is alive, let her live with Raja Sheikh in peace if she wishes. Everything is over. No one should fight with Raja Sheikh. I just want to convey my message to society. Also, tell my brother not to fight with anyone. What was meant to be done has been done and I have done what I had to do. In the end, do not leave Raja Sheikh. I am just tired now. Sorry, Dad.”
The case is currently being probed by the Ankleshwar B Division Police and the Bharuch Railway Police. Raja Sheikh is expected to be questioned as well. According to the police, who were providing information on suicide, it was found that the wife had killed herself at first. Subsequently, the father murdered his son and hurled himself off the train.
