A 22-year-old man allegedly strangled his 17-year-old fiancée to death following a quarrel in Maharashtra’s Palghar district, police said.
The incident occurred earlier this week in Bivaldhar village in the Jawhar area, and the suspect was arrested by the police.
The man, who was in love with the victim, had been engaged to her and visited her frequently, according to Jawhar’s Deputy Superintendent of Police Sameer S. Maher.
On Tuesday, while the victim’s parents were at their farm, the accused visited her house and allegedly tried to establish sexual relations with the victim. When she refused, he got agitated and allegedly strangled the victim to death after assaulting her. He fled from the house after the incident, officials stated.
Neighbours who later discovered the incident alerted the local police, who promptly arrived at the scene and sent the body for postmortem examination.
After a search, the accused was arrested on Wednesday and booked under section 103(1) (murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the official said.
