Woman jumps into well with son, booked for his murder in Pune

According to the police, the couple married in 2011 and were having a dispute over a property. In recent weeks, Harshada had been living at their home with the children, while Bankhele had been staying with his parents.

Around 8.30 am on April 3, Bankhele received a call from a relative that Harshada had jumped into a well with their son Nihant.

Local residents rescued them and rushed them to Manchar sub-district hospital. At the hospital, Nihant was declared dead while Harshada survived.

Bankhele then rushed to their house and found out that Hardhada had allegedly tried to kill Pardnya by strangling her.

Paridnya, too, was rushed to the Manchar sub-district hospital where she is currently being treated.

“Investigation has revealed that from the last few days, Harshada had been having a dispute with Bankhele over the property. She had been insisting that Bankhele’s property be divided and she be given her share. Probe suggests that the incident was a fallout of this property dispute. Harshada is currently being treated at hospital. She has been detained and will be placed under arrest once she gets discharged. Meanwhile Paridnya is recovering in the hospital.” said an officer from Manchar police station.
