Rajkot woke up to heartbreaking news that left the cricket world in shock today. Jeet Rasikbhai Pabari took his own life at home in a tragic incident. He was Cheteshwar Pujara’s brother-in-law and the family has stayed in Rajkot for 20 years.
Doctors couldn’t save him when police brought him to a nearby private hospital. They declared him dead right there and sent his body for post-mortem checks. Police officers are now trying to piece together what went so terribly wrong.
Year-Long Legal Battle Broke Him Down
Things had been going downhill for Jeet ever since last year when trouble started. His ex-fiancée went to the police and filed a serious FIR against him. She told police he forced her into physical relations by lying about their engagement.
The engagement between them got called off after these serious allegations. The news came out publicly. The girl claimed that Jeet threatened her multiple times by wrongly using Cheteshwar Pujara’s name. She also said he physically hurt her badly after their engagement ceremony ended.
Reports say Jeet was fighting depression for quite some time before taking this step. The rape allegation case was putting a lot of mental pressure on him daily. His family runs a cotton ginning business in Rajkot that they’ve built over the years.
Pujara Family Faces Difficult Time
Cheteshwar Pujara married Pooja, who is Jeet’s sister, several years back in Rajkot. Pooja studied at many good schools and colleges before getting married to the cricketer. She worked for a big multinational company before becoming part of Pujara’s life permanently.
This tragedy has brought immense pain to both families involved in this sad situation. The Pabari family is going through their worst nightmare right now with everything happening. Nobody expected things to turn out this way for Jeet at such a time.
Police have opened a complete investigation into Jeet Pabari’s death and the circumstances around it. They’re checking all angles to make sure they understand what pushed him this far. The cricket fraternity stands with the Pujara family during this incredibly tough period today.
