Mumbai, Mar 1: A petty quarrel between neighbours ended in a tragedy at Motilal Nagar slums in Goregaon (west) on Monday night as a 17-year-old college girl was killed after her father fell on her during the scuffle and the kitchen knife he was holding pierced her chest.

killedGoregaon police said Meghna Agavane's father Rajesh (41), a driver, lost his balance and fell on her when their neighbours pushed them. Police have arrested six members of their neighbour's family— Subhash Goderao (48), his wife Manda (42), their two daughters and two nieces.

According to police, the problem started on Monday morning when Meghna was washing clothes outside her home. As the lane is very narrow, the soap water splashed on the Goderaos, leading to a quarrel. The matter reached the local police and a non-cognizable offence was registered against four women from both families. They were let off with a warning.

"When Meghna's sister Puja (22) returned home from work around 8pm and learnt about the quarrel, she went to the Goderaos' home to enquire about the incident. However, it snowballed into a scuffle. Hearing the commotion, Rajesh, who was cutting vegetables at home, rushed out holding a kitchen knife in hand. Rajesh lost his balance when the Goderaos pushed him and fell on his daughters with the knife in his hand. The knife pierced Meghna's chest," Deputy commissioner of police (zone XI) Vikram Deshmane said. She was rushed to Siddharth Hospital where she was declared dead before admission.

In her complaint to police and while speaking TOI, Puja said, "I took my sister to the neighbour's home to ask them about the reason for the morning fight. However, they again fought with us. The five women from the Goderao family assaulted my sister and it caused her death."

Police have booked the girl's father under IPC section 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder), but have not arrested him. The six members of the Goderao family have been booked under IPC sections 143 (unlawful assembly), 147 (rioting), 148 (rioting armed with deadly weapon), 149 (unlawful assembly guilty of offence) and 323 (hurt).

"We are collecting statements from people who were present there to verify the claim of the victim's father," a police officer said.

Khammam, Jun 29: In an outrageous incident, some youths beat up a monkey and strung it up on a tree to death while also releasing dogs to attack it in Ammapalem village in Telangana's Khammam district.

A video of the heinous incident of animal cruelty has surfaced on social media, in which the monkey is seen hanging by a rope from a tree, desperately flailing its limbs while a couple of dogs attempt to pounce on and torment the hapless simian. After a while, several men are seen in the video approaching the animal with long sticks.

Forest officials have charged one villager Venkateshwar Rao under Wildlife Protection Act along with the other accused and arrested them. They were released on bail on Saturday and are set to be summoned for questioning by forest officials.

Rao had spotted the monkey, which had entered his residence apparently in search of food and beat it with a stick and hung it from a tree with the help of his friend.

In the video of the incident, Rao could also be seen instructing his pet dogs to bite the monkey, which was fighting for its life.
