Madhya Pradesh: Sub-inspector run over by woman constable, love triangle suspected

In a tragic turn of events, Sub-Inspector Dipankar Gautam was reportedly killed in Rajgarh district, Madhya Pradesh, on Tuesday. The incident occurred when a car driven by Pallavi Solanki, a constable from the Pachor police station, collided with Gautam, who was riding his bike on the Biaora-Dewas highway.

The collision took place near a petrol pump, where the car hit Gautam from behind. The impact propelled him onto the car’s bonnet and windshield, and he was dragged for about 30 metres. Gautam sustained severe injuries to his head, left knee, and other parts of his body. He was rushed to a nearby civil hospital by local residents and later referred to Bhopal for further treatment. Unfortunately, he succumbed to his injuries while en route. His body has been sent to Chirayu Hospital in Bhopal for a post-mortem examination.

After the incident, Pallavi Solanki and her partner, Karan Thakur, went to the rural police station to report the collision. They admitted to killing the sub-inspector. An overnight interrogation was conducted by SP Aditya Mishra at the SDOP office, and the investigation is ongoing. Authorities are also exploring a possible connection to a love triangle involving Solanki, Thakur, and Gautam.

Sources reveal that SI Gautam had previously expressed concerns about his safety to his colleague, SI Subhash, fearing potential harm from Pallavi and Karan. However, Subhash arrived only after the incident had occurred.

Pallavi Solanki and Karan Thakur’s relationship has been troubled. Karan had previously shot Pallavi during a confrontation, injuring her neck. Despite this, the couple reconciled. Pallavi’s relationship with Gautam is said to have developed over time, adding complexity to the situation.

Additionally, SI Gautam, originally from Shivpuri district, had a history of legal issues related to sexual assault, though he was acquitted and had resumed his duties in the police force.
