A community in Banswara, Rajasthan is seeking answers following a disturbing incident that has shaken local residents. Authorities are investigating circumstances surrounding the case of 12-year-old Jahnvi Patidar, who was discovered unresponsive in her home on Sunday morning.
Investigation Underway as Family Mourns
According to reports, the incident occurred on March 23 while the child’s family was working in nearby agricultural fields. Jahnvi was reportedly alone at the residence when unknown individuals allegedly entered the property. Upon returning home around 10:30 AM, family members made the heartbreaking discovery in the kitchen area.
The family had departed early that morning for their daily agricultural work. Jahnvi’s mother had briefly returned to prepare a meal before taking her 5-year-old son back to the fields, leaving the young girl at home.
Local authorities report that various items appear to have been displaced throughout the residence, suggesting that the property had been searched by intruders.
Community Response and Concerns
The incident has sparked significant concern in the tight-knit rural community. Residents have organized gatherings to express solidarity with the family and demand swift action from law enforcement.
“This has affected everyone in our village deeply,” said one community member who requested anonymity. “We are all supporting the family during this unimaginable time.”
The community’s response has highlighted broader concerns about rural safety and security measures in isolated areas where families often divide their attention between home and agricultural responsibilities.
