- Rahul Jha killed wife and three daughters with stones at night.
- After the murders, he served tea to his father, acting normal.
- Police are investigating financial and familial motives while searching for him.
On Friday morning around 10 a.m., police received a report of a quadruple murder at the A‑169 plot in Govind Vatika, Jaipur. The first‑floor room held the body of wife Gita Jha, while three daughters—23‑year‑old Nandini, 18‑year‑old Radhaika and 14‑year‑old Gauri—were found on the ground floor in separate rooms. Evidence suggests the killings occurred late at night while they were sleeping, with stones used to strike their heads and faces. The stone weapon was recovered at the scene.
Surprisingly, the suspect displayed calm behavior after the crime: he fetched milk, brewed tea for his elderly father Laxman Nath, and then fled the house. Three days earlier, Rahul had borrowed ₹25,000 from a neighbor, hinting at possible financial stress. Police are exploring both economic and domestic disputes as potential motives.
