Chhindwara Gurukul Children Murder Case – Revelations

After investigations, Shri M.R. Krishna, I.G. of Jabalpur Range revealed findings of the Chhindwara Gurukul children murder case.

“In the first investigation, a panel of two doctors did the post mortem. Because there was a similar incident two days later, for the second investigation, a panel of four doctors did the post mortem. Out of the four doctors, one doctor is a Senior Doctor in the Medical Institute of Bhopal and another is the Head of Department of the Forensic Department in Jabalpur College.

In our view, we have done a screening of all the suspects involved. Out of the suspects, one of them is a child named Rituraj Dixit. He was admitted recently this July (10, July 2008). His father got him admitted in the Gururkul with the objective that he would take care of his two younger cousins. From the beginning, Rituraj was not interested in coming to the Gurukul.

Small children stay on the ground floor of the hostel. Older children are not allowed here. The attendant for small children takes them for a bath and later drops them back in their room. In both the cases of death, Rituraj came downstairs. Saying, “I want to go to the toilet” ,he went to the downstairs bathroom. On the 31st, when Vedanta was found unconscious, Rituraj’s statement was, “At that time, I was sitting in the toilet on the side. I was there for fifteen-twenty minutes. I did not hear a single word, when a child came or when a child went”. This was his initial statement. We considered him a suspect from the start.

On Vedanta’s corpse, there were clear, visible teeth marks of being bitten on his left shoulder. An impression of Rituraj’s teeth were compared and found similar to the teeth marks on Vedanta’s shoulder. After Rituraj was informed thus, “Your teeth marks have been found on Vedanta’s body” ,he then started revealing the truth. He slowly revealed the whole sequence of events. He accepted responsibility for the offence of committing both the murders.

On the 29th, ten minutes before Ramakrishna’s murder, another small boy who studies in Std. I, was playing nearby-Rituraj tempted him with a toffee and took him into the bathroom. He shut the door and pressing the boy’s face with his hand, he covered his nose and mouth. Just at that moment, two children came into the toilet. So Rituraj had to let go of the small boy. Being a small boy, he did not comprehend what had been done to him. He stepped out and went to his room.

Vedanta put up quite a struggle to protect himself. He struggled with his hands and legs. To control him, Rituraj dug his teeth into his left shoulder to terrify him.

Fresh information about Rituraj reveals that neither Rituraj nor any one from his family has taken deeksha (initiation from a Satguru) from Bapuji. The police should also expose
any other people involved in the conspiracy, if any.
