In a disturbing incident, a 26-year-old man allegedly killed his 34 year old girlfriend with an iron rod, suspecting she was involved with someone else. The crime took place on Tuesday evening in the Dabha area, under the jurisdiction of Gittikhadan Police Station.
According to a media report, police said Akshay Date got upset after seeing Punam Vaidya (Name Changed) speaking to another man at her workplace. This led him to carry out the brutal attack. Investigators have also collected CCTV footage of the incident.
The victim, a widow and mother of an 11-year-old girl, was working at a builder’s office in Dabha when she was attacked with an iron rod. She suffered severe head injuries and was taken to Mayo Hospital, where her condition was reported as critical.
Police said that Date and Vaidya had been in a relationship for three years, but things had recently turned sour. Vaidya had started distancing herself from him. She had lost her husband during the Covid-19 pandemic and was raising her daughter alone. Vaidya lived in Wadi, close to where Date also stayed, which allowed him to keep track of her activities.
