The deceased is identified as Satish.

Reportedly Satish’s daughter Dhanushree was in a relationship with a youth from another community.

When Satish’s son Nitish discovered this, he took Dhanushree and his mother Anita on a bike to the Maruru lake near the village. There, he allegedly pushed his sister into the lake. Anita jumped into the lake in a bid to rescue her drowning daughter but tragically drowned.

This incident took place on January 24 this year.  A complaint was lodged against Nithish at the rural police station, and he was taken into judicial custody.
