Jodhpur: The wife and the daughter of an Army personnel were found dead under mysterious circumstances in their official quarter in Rajasthan’s Jodhpur’s early on Sunday, police said.

The charred remains of 25-year-old Rukmeena and her two-year-old daughter Riddhima were found on a bed, they said.

Rukmeena’s husband Ram Prasad has claimed that the pair died in a fire triggered by a short circuit. Ram Prasad has been apprehended by the police.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) Amrita Duahn said the woman’s relatives have been informed and the post-mortem will be done once they reach Jodhpur.

Sikkim native Ram Prasad married Rukmeena, who belonged to Nepal, three years ago. A Naik in the Indian Army, Ram Prasad moved to Jodhpur with his family about two years ago and had been living in the military quarters.

“At 5 am on Sunday, we received information that two people had burnt to death in the Army quarters. We rushed to the spot and found the woman and her daughter lying on the bed in a completely charred condition,” Duhan said.
