The accused Anil Dongre (23), Vishal Dongre (26), Sanjay Dongre (24) and their parents Manik Chand (55) and Rambai (50) attacked the youth with a sickle on Wednesday night in front of his sister. He died on the spot.

The sister of the deceased said, “The (accused) brothers were harassing me for a long time. Vishal Dongre was sexually harassing and forcing me to marry him. He used to send obscene messages to me. My brother came to know about it and he warned Vishal and his brothers but they were not ready to stop.”

“My brother also complained to their parents Manik Chand and Rambai but they were supporting their sons. My brother warned them of police action on Tuesday. On Wednesday night, Anil, Vishal and Sanjay came to my home and attacked my brother. The parents were also present and supporting the sons,” she added.

The woman also said that she had filed a police complaint a month ago at Rehatgaon police station but the police didn’t act in the matter.

Rehatgaon police station in-charge Manoj Uike said, “All the accused have been arrested in the matter. The deceased’s family was demanding demolition of the house. We have informed the revenue department to take up an inquiry in the matter.”

Uike said he does not have any information related to the previous complaint.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Shruti Tomar
I have spent over a decade chronicling Madhya Pradesh’s political and social landscape, covering politics, investigative journalism, crime, human interest, and government policy, blending sharp insight with ground‑level depth. I have closely tracked three assembly elections, three Lok Sabha elections, leadership transitions in MP while exposing governance lapses, tender irregularities, and flawed policy rollouts. My reports have revealed gaps in the Cheetah project, irregularities in medical education, rigging in recruitment exams, and loopholes in policy implementation. In crime reporting, I have moved beyond FIRs to map systemic patterns — from organised crime networks and gender‑based violence to custodial accountability — balancing urgency with sensitivity. My journalism is defined by a commitment to human interest. I have profiled the marginalised Bancchda community, documented atrocities against tribal groups, and highlighted efforts to preserve their culture through heritage liquor and revival of spiritual practices. I have reported on farmers struggling with failed MSP promises, giving voice to those often reduced to statistics in policy files. Passionate about field reporting, I have reported on rampant sand mining in Chambal and Narmada, pharmaceutical companies supplying medicines under altered names, the dire condition of schools and colleges, the plight of commercial sex workers, and skewed sex ratios in specific districts. Beyond deadlines, and as HT’s state correspondent and assistant editor in Madhya Pradesh, I engage with ministers, farmers, students, and activists, believing the best policy stories begin with a single human voice. A postgraduate in Journalism and Mass Communication, I also hold a diploma in sports journalism.Read More
