A distressing discovery was made in Bilaspur town, Himachal Pradesh, where a retired teacher and her bedridden son were found deceased in their rented residence. The incident, which occurred in the Rauda sector, has prompted a police investigation into the cause of their deaths.
Information was available with The Chenab Times that the deceased have been identified as Kumud Sharma, aged 66, a retired teacher, and her son Akshansh, aged 36. The family, originally from Arki, had been residing in Bilaspur for some time.
According to preliminary reports, Akshansh had been bedridden for the past two to three years following a serious accident. He was receiving regular physiotherapy sessions at his home, with a physiotherapist visiting him for treatment.
On Friday, the physiotherapist arrived for a scheduled visit but received no response from inside the house. Assuming Akshansh was asleep, the physiotherapist departed without entering. Later that evening, the physiotherapist contacted relatives of the family who reside in Bilaspur and frequently assisted Kumud Sharma and Akshansh.
Concerned relatives, upon arriving at the residence and still unable to make contact, raised an alarm. They subsequently contacted the local police department. Responding to the call, the police gained entry into the house and discovered both Kumud Sharma and Akshansh lying dead on a bed.
Bilaspur Superintendent of Police, Sandeep Dhawal, confirmed the incident, stating that the bodies of the woman and her son were found in the Rauda sector of the town. He further informed that both bodies have been sent for postmortem examinations to determine the precise cause of their demise.
“A case of death of a woman and her son has come to light in Rauda sector of the town. The police have sent both bodies for a postmortem examination to ascertain the cause of death. The matter is being thoroughly investigated,” stated SP Dhawal. He added that the bodies would be released to the relatives for performing the final rites once the postmortem procedures are completed.
The circumstances leading to the deaths remain unclear and are subject to the ongoing police investigation. Officials are working to piece together the events that preceded the discovery. The rented accommodation where the incident occurred is expected to be examined as part of the investigation process. The local community in Bilaspur has expressed shock and sorrow over the tragic incident.
