Rakhi Shejwal, a young housewife, and mother of two was murdered by her
neighbour, Babu Gogavale, when she resisted his attempt to molest her. Gogavale,
who worked in a chocolate factory, was infatuated with Rakhi and tried to take
advantage of her when she was alone at home. Rakhi resisted and scratched his
neck. In response, Gogavale took a knife from the kitchen and slit her throat.
He was arrested after the police made inquiries with other neighbours who led
them to him.
The incident took place in Kopri, Thane on Sunday afternoon, and Rakhi's
children, aged four and two, found her in a pool of blood when they returned
home. Rakhi had asked her mother to take care of her children while she went
home to fill water, as her husband, a private firm driver, was out on work.
The police found scratch marks on Gogavale's neck, and his statements kept
changing. Eventually, he confessed to the crime. Rakhi's death has left her
family and neighbours in shock and disbelief. The tragedy is a reminder of the
dangers women face daily and the importance of speaking out against harassment
and abuse.
