Tragic Incident: Teacher Fatally Shoots Two Colleagues At Jharkhand School Amid Alleged ‘Love Affair’

According to police, on Tuesday, a teacher at a government school in the Godda district of Jharkhand allegedly shot and killed two of his coworkers over a “love affair” before turning the gun on himself and getting seriously hurt.

According to a senior police officer, the incident happened at Chatra Upgraded School in the Poraiyahat area, about 300 km from Ranchi, during school hours at around 11 am.

“The bodies of two teachers, including a woman, were found lying in a pool of blood in a room at the school, while the accused teacher was also found seriously injured,” Godda Superintendent of Police Nathu Singh Meena told PTI.

The school’s teachers and students heard the gunshots and hurried to the room, only to discover it was locked from the inside. After that, they called the police, according to the SP.

“The police reached the spot and broke open the door but by then both the teachers, who were shot in their heads, had died. The accused teacher tried to die by suicide by shooting himself on the right side of his head,” Meena said.

“Prima facie, it seems to be a case of a love affair. According to villagers and school students, both the male teachers had alleged romantic relationships with the woman teacher,” the officer said.

According to another police officer, the injured teacher was identified as Ravi Ranjan (42), a resident of Poraiyahat Main Market. The deceased were identified as Sujata Mishra (35), a resident of Poraiyahat, and Adarsh Singh (40), a resident of Chandoli, Uttar Pradesh.

He said the accused teacher shot three bullets at Singh and one bullet at Mishra.
