Meanwhile, in an another incident, a woman was arrested in Nagpur for allegedly killing a property dealer she was in a relationship with by hitting him on his private parts with a blunt object, a police official said on Sunday, the PTI reported on Sunday.
The body of 55-year-old Ravindra Kudwe was discovered on April 19 and the post mortem report stated the cause of death as "shock resulting from testicular injuries", after which a murder probe began, said the Hudkeshwar police station official said.
"His son told us the deceased was in a relationship with one Kajal Joge (27), who was now planning to marry someone else but wanted the deceased to fund the ceremony. This caused a dispute leading to the murder," the official said.
