Nagpur: In a disturbing incident of domestic violence, a 17-year-old boy allegedly killed his father, Mukesh Shankarrao Shende (57), during a drunken brawl at their residence in Hudkeshwar on January 19, around 10:00 PM.
According to police reports, Mukesh, a habitual drinker, regularly harassed his wife, Urmila Shende, and their son. On the night of the incident, a heated argument broke out, leading the boy to push his intoxicated father off a mattress, causing him to bleed from the nose. The juvenile then strangled Mukesh with a towel, resulting in his death.
Further investigations revealed that Urmila Shende conspired with her son to cover up the crime. The duo cleaned bloodstains with phenyl and stuffed the body into a sack to dispose of it.
Following a complaint by Mukesh’s relative, Mangesh Vamanrao Shende, Hudkeshwar police registered a case under Sections 103, 238, and 3(5) of the BNS. Police officials have initiated a thorough investigation into the matter.
