17-year-old bludgeoned to death by 60-year-old, his sons

“Around 12.30 am on Thursday when Ganesh was returning home on his bike with some of his friends, the three accused stopped him and started brutally beating him with metal rods and rocks. Ganesh sustained severe injuries and is believed to have died on the spot. The incident took place not far from the location where houses of Dande and Petkar are located around 50 metres from each other. Some locals informed Ganesh’s father who in turn called the police,” said an officer from Wagholi police station.

“Initial probe suggests that Ganesh had been in contact with the daughter of Laxman Petkar which Petkar and his two sons disapproved of. Probe suggests that the brutal murder was a fallout of this. Soon after the murder, we arrested Laxman and his two sons,” said Assistant Inspector Vinayak Ahire of Wagholi police station.
