Two individuals, comprising a security officer, were killed and six others suffered injuries following a violent assault at an old-age home in Maharashtra's Ahilyanagar district early Saturday morning, according to TOI. The perpetrator, identified as 54-year-old Raju Ghule, allegedly used the metal tip of his walking stick to target fellow residents while they were asleep.
He was subsequently apprehended and an investigation initiated. The attack occurred around 6 am at the Matoshree Vruddhashram near Vilad Ghat, approximately 10 km from Ahilyanagar city. Two victims, Dattatray Harke, an 80-year-old resident, and Mahakaleshwar Hene, a 55-year-old security guard, sustained severe head injuries and passed away.
Six others were injured and admitted to Ahilyanagar Civil Hospital for treatment; four of them were stable. Police are probing whether ongoing disagreements and ridicule over Ghule's physical impairments prompted the incident. Some residents had reportedly complained about his eating habits and speech. The police are also reviewing CCTV footage from the facility to piece together the events leading up to the incident.
Ghule has been handed over to the police, and an investigation is underway, with charges of murder and causing bodily harm with a dangerous instrument under consideration.
