Gopal Raigar (55) S/o Burilal lived along with his third wife and 5 children (3 daughter and 2 sons) at Chandly village, Jaipur. Gopal Raigar was the sole bread winner of his family. He worked as a Senior Accountant in Accountant General Office Jaipur. Apart from this he was selling an Ayurvedic medicine as a part time job. Due to some problem in the medicine the police arrested him and filed a case against him but the police set aside the manufacturer.  Gopal was sent to jail on 1991 for 9 months. So he was suspended from his Government job and his economic status became weak. The case was under trail.

Since he lost his job he borrowed money from others to make ends meet. He got a loan from Vidinna Bank and arranged the marriage for his daughter. On 2003, when the case was under trial, he sold his land in order to meet the case expenses. He wrote an application to his officials for his settlement of the salary but the department did not take any effort to repay his money. Later the officials demanded a bribe so Gopal Raigar spent around 1 lakh as a bribe to the department officials even though he could not get back the money owed to him.

On April 2004 he was taken back to the job by the Government; however, they did not pay him the money due to him during his suspension period.  Since he borrowed money during his suspension period he was under pressure to give back that money.  So he wrote an application to the department Officials many times even after joining the job but the department refused to settle his money until after the final disposal of the case.

Gopal Raigarh got volunteer retirement in2007.But even at that time of his retirement the Government did not settle his entire amount. On 4 April 2007 he wrote an application to General Accountant for his full settlement and mentioned that he would commit suicide if they did not take any action. But he did not get any reply and they did not give any assurance that they would give back his pending salary.

On 23/05/07, a milk man came to the house of Gopal Raigar and, since there was no reply, he informed the police. The police found the dead body of Gopal Raigar and his 6 family members with their necks slit at his house. All the dead bodies of the family members were found on the first floor but the dead body of Suman, daughter of Gopal Raigar, was found on the steps with a slit on her neck. But there was no blood stain on the steps. On 24/05/07 Rajendra Kumar S/o Gopal Raigar organized the funeral and all the villagers attended the funeral. Home Minister Gulaba Chand Kalariya came to the incident place and also came again the next day, but he did not give any assurance that he would take action against the Officials.

The SSP Shri Santosh Kumar Chalke found the documents related to his debt of Rs 20 Lakhs from Vidinna Bank and the letter written to the Officials that he would commit suicide if they failed to pay his pending salary. On 25^th June 2007,when SP investigated the Chief Accountant, the Chief Accountant informed him that the pending amount of Rs.3 Lakhs is to be given to Gopal. However, when his son Rajendra Kumar and his relatives went to Chief Accountant, he informed them that Gopal did not have any pending amount and had no pension amount either. Till now the case against him is under trail. Rajander Kumar s/o Gopal got back the amount of Rs. 177000/- that was seized by the police during the investigation at the house of Gopal.
