Insistence on contesting Sarpanch's post brings tragedy to family in Churu Rajasthan

Jaipur, Oct 14 (UNI) Insistence on contesting the Sarpanch's post in the panchayat polls in Changoi village of Churu district has brought tragedy to a family as the aspiring man ran over his son and daughter-in-law with his Bolero car on midnight Tuesday.
The young couple, who were opposing the move, died on the spot.
According to police reports reaching the state headquarters here, Ramchand Jat (60) of Changoi village was aspiring for long to contest the post of Sarpanch of his native village. He wanted to file his nominations today for the election. However, his son Ravindra and daughter-in-law Mahindra were opposing Ramchandra's insistence on making his electoral foray.
They had frequent verbal clashes over the issue in the past.
Last night too, the aspiring candidate and the young couple had an aggressive clash at their Dharma-Kanta (Weighbridge) on the fringe of the village about 00:30-01:00am.
After a heated exchange Ravindra and his wife Mahindra were returning home, when an enraged Ramchandra chased them and ploughed his car through the duo killing them on the spot.
Ramchandra was arrested later by the Taranagar local police. Ravindra's mother fainted on hearing the news, while his 11-year-old daughter was inconsolable.
