Wagholi Reels in Horror: Mother Arrested for Brutal Attack on Her Own Children
The quiet of Pune’s BAIF Road area was shattered by an unimaginable tragedy that has left the local community paralyzed with grief and disbelief. In a chilling defiance of the maternal bond, a mother allegedly turned on her own flesh and blood, leaving one child dead and another fighting for survival in a local hospital.
A Morning Turned Into a Nightmare
The incident involves the Jaybhay family, who had moved from Kandhar Taluka in the Nanded district to Wagholi in search of a better life. That dream turned into a gruesome reality when Sony Santosh Jaybhay allegedly attacked her two children.
The details are harrowing:
• The Victim: 11-year-old Sairaj Santosh Jaybhay lost his life after his throat was slit. He reportedly died on the spot.
• The Survivor: Her 13-year-old daughter, Dhanshree, was also targeted in the deadly assault. Despite sustaining severe injuries, she managed to survive the initial attack and was rushed to the hospital, where she remains in critical condition.
Wagholi police arrived at the scene shortly after the alarm was raised, taking Sony Jaybhay into immediate custody. While the physical evidence of the crime is stark, the “why” remains a haunting void. Investigators are currently peeling back the layers of the family’s life to understand the motive. They are looking into several possibilities:
Mental Health: Whether the mother was suffering from severe psychological distress or a sudden breakdown.
External Pressures: If the family was buckling under financial strain or internal domestic disputes.
This tragedy marks the second major violent crime to hit Wagholi in just 48 hours. This rapid succession of incidents has sparked a wave of anxiety among residents, many of whom are now calling for a more visible police presence and more effective crime prevention strategies to restore a sense of safety to the neighborhood.
