Two Brutal Murder Cases in Maharashtra: Thane Man Killed Over Dispute, Grandmother Stabbed to Death in Nagpur Family Violence

In the Thane district case, the incident took place late Friday night in the Mharalgaon area of the Kalyan sub-district. According to Inspector Mukesh Dhage of the Kalyan Taluka Police Station, the victim, identified as Ravindra alias Pintaya alias Dokya Yashwant Ahire, was cornered by three accused persons—Deepak Sukhdev Dange, Vijay Bhide, and Parshuram Bhide—at the Malkhamb Compound around 9 pm.

Police stated that the victim had an ongoing dispute with accused Deepak Sukhdev Dange and had planned to file a police complaint against him. Angered by this development, the three accused intercepted Ravindra and attacked him with sharp-edged weapons. The victim was repeatedly stabbed on his stomach, head, side, and face, resulting in his death at the scene.

Following a complaint filed by the victim’s brother, the police swiftly arrested all three accused. A case has been registered against them under Sections 103(1) for murder and 61(2) for criminal conspiracy under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

In the second case reported from Nagpur, a 24-year-old man, identified as Raju Pramod Bagde, was arrested for allegedly murdering his 68-year-old grandmother, Indubai Kishor Chavan, following a dispute over money withdrawn from her bank account.

According to a police official from Pachpaoli Police Station, Bagde allegedly stole his grandmother’s ATM card on May 18 and withdrew ₹20,000 over the next two days. When the elderly woman confronted him, a heated argument broke out. The official stated that Bagde later returned home in an intoxicated state, leading to another altercation during which he stabbed her multiple times.

He reportedly attempted to erase bloodstains before fleeing the house after locking it from outside. The crime came to light two days later when a foul smell was noticed emanating from the residence. Police later arrested the accused from the Kalmeshwar area.

These back-to-back violent incidents in Maharashtra highlight escalating concerns over brutal interpersonal crimes, with swift police action leading to arrests in both cases.
