Agartala, Jul 17: In a chilling incident in Tripura’s Khowai district, a mentally challenged youth brutally murdered his mother with a machete at their Ratanpur residence. The assailant, Haricharan Jhara (26), the youngest of Parbati Jhara’s five sons, attacked his mother while she was sleeping.
Family members discovered Parbati’s decapitated body the next morning, with Haricharan sitting next to the remains, wielding the machete. Eyewitnesses informed the police, prompting a swift response from law enforcement officials, including Additional Superintendent of Police, Khowai district, along with SDPO Prasun Kanti Majumder and OC Subir Malakar.
Due to Haricharan’s unpredictable behavior, police deployed tear gas shells to subdue and arrest him. According to his elder brother, Haricharan had been grappling with significant psychological issues. He had ceased working as a rubber tapper over a year ago and had recently started medical treatment.
SDPO Prasun Kanti Majumder stated, “We received a report of a woman’s murder around 6:30 am. Our team reached the scene and apprehended the accused. Forensic experts have gathered scientific evidence, and the body has been sent for an autopsy.”
The incident underscores the critical need for mental health awareness and timely intervention.
