Big twist in Maharashtra hill tragedy: Teen attempted suicide from same spot in 2025
A youth died after jumping from Khavda Hill following a family dispute. His parents and mother also died moments later at the same location. The teenager had remained near the cliff edge for three hours despite rescue efforts. Villagers and police attempted to persuade him to move to safety. This incident occurred on Friday morning in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district.
In a shocking revelation, police in Maharashtra have unearthed a new development in the tragic incident that claimed the lives of an 18-year-old youth, his father, and mother at Khavda Hill in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district. The youth had attempted suicide from the same location in 2025, prior to the fatal incident that occurred this year.
The teenager had reportedly been engaged in a prolonged domestic dispute with his parents, which had been escalating over several months. Initially, investigators believed the tragedy was precipitated by a demand for an expensive iPhone. However, this theory was disproved as both Kunal and his mother were already in possession of iPhones. Instead, the police investigation points towards the deep-rooted family discord as the primary trigger.
On a Friday morning, Kunal, along with his father Murlidhar and mother Sangeeta, was found dead at the 400-500 feet cliff on Khavda Hill. The youth had been at the cliff edge for nearly three hours, despite the persistent efforts of his parents, villagers, police, and fire brigade personnel to persuade him to come down. His mother had been pleading with him to step back, while rescuers had deployed safety nets to assist in the rescue operation.
Despite these efforts, the teenager remained adamant, shifting his position and making the rescue operation extremely challenging.
