Cheteshwar Pujara’s Brother-in-Law Found Dead in Rajkot as Police Treat Case as Suicide

The death fell exactly a year after a rape complaint against him, with investigators awaiting post-mortem results to determine the circumstances.

Overview

  • Jeet Rasikbhai Pabari was discovered unresponsive at his Rajkot home on November 26 and was declared dead on arrival at a private hospital, after which his body was sent for post-mortem.
  • Malviyanagar police have opened a formal case and ordered a forensic examination of the residence, and officers plan to record statements from family members when possible.
  • ACP B. J. Chaudhary said it would be premature to draw conclusions before forensic and post-mortem findings, and the home remains an active crime-scene assessment site.
  • The date coincides with the November 26, 2024 FIR by a former fiancée alleging forced sexual relations under promise of marriage, a case that moved through anticipatory bail and a chargesheet.
  • Police sources and multiple reports note Pabari had been under significant stress during the past year, though any link to Wednesday’s events remains unconfirmed; some outlets report hanging, a detail not officially verified.
