Veteran Cricketer Cheteshwar Pujara's Brother-in-law Dies By Suicide, Body Found At Rajkot Residence

Ex-Indian cricketer Cheteshwar Pujara's brother-in-law Jeet Rasikbhai Pabari allegedly took his own life at his Rajkot residence on November 26, 2025, as per reports. The player's brother-in-law was reportedly rushed to the hospital by the Malviyanagar Police team, where the doctors declared him dead upon his arrival. The reports suggest that his body has been sent for post-mortem, while the legal procedures are currently going on. 

The reason why he allegedly took his life is not clear. However, notably, Jeet Rasikbhai Pabari's ex-fiancé filed a rape complaint against him Malviya Nagar Police Station. The complaint accused him of forcing physical relations with her under the guise of their upcoming marriage. The complaint claimed that the incident occurred during the engagement period, which was later called off in the light of this alleged incident. 

The coincidence in the date raised a few eyebrows about whether this had played a part in his untimely demise or not.
