According sources, Sonu and Darshana along with their 8-year old son Shaurya were leaving at the abovementioned address since the past 6-7 years. The family was running a grocery (kirana) shop and was also in milk business having a cow and goat. However, the goat met a tragic death on Thursday morning as it was run over by a train passing through adjoining tracks. The death of the goat vitiated the atmosphere in Nitnavre’s house.
Sonu was in a sort of shock and reportedly ended his life by setting his house on fire. Seeing her husband in flames, Darshana could have tried to save him. In the process, she also suffered serious burn injuries. However, both Sonu and Darshana perished in the fire. Their 8-year old son Shaurya was also sleeping in the house but he miraculously escaped the fire and is reportedly safe.
