IN A heart-wrenching incident, a month-old boy was brutally killed by his relative during a domestic quarrel at Bakhari village in Parseoni tehsil on Monday. The toddler was stabbed with a sharp-edged weapon by the accused. The accused Ganesh Govindrao Borkar (41), a resident of Wadoda Road, Kuhi, was husband of maternal aunt of the child. According to police, Ganesh’s wife Pratibha had left her matrimonial house last month due to frequent quarrels with him. Ganesh was forcing her to return home. He came to Bakhari village on Monday afternoon and entered house of in-laws where his sister-in-law Rupali Jitendra Pande (24), a resident of Bhamewada village, tehsil Kuhi was present with the child.
As she was alone, Ganesh asked her to clean his handkerchief at around 1.30 pm. When Rupali moved to washing room to clean the handkerchief, Ganesh took out a knife and stabbed the child. He immediately fled the spot keeping the knife with himself. Rupali ran towards drawing room after hearing screams of the boy and was shocked after seeing stabs on his stomach. Neighbourers rushed in and took the boy to hospital where he succumbed to the injuries.
Borkar fled to Kuhi after committing the crime. He was arrested by the police on Monday and a case was registered under Section 302 of Indian Penal Code. He was produced before the court on Monday and was remanded seven days’ police custody. Police Inspector of Parseoni Vilas Kale informed The Hitavada that the accused was cruel in the nature and had come to kill his brother-in-law. “When Pratibha left the matrimonial house, Borkar was making phone calls to his brother-in-law to have word with his wife. But he was not allowing Borkar,” said PI Kale. The incident has sent shockwaves across the city and district.
