Police in Maharashtra’s Kolhapur district have arrested Sripad Vadar, 23, for allegedly pushing his 23-year-old girlfriend, Tarannum Khan, into a 1,000-feet deep valley. Khan’s body was discovered at the bottom of Naikwadi waterfall in Bhudargarh taluka. Vadar had initially claimed to police that he and Khan had been in a relationship for over five years and had together decided to commit suicide.
However, inconsistencies arose in his account of events. The police found support for their suspicions in Vadar’s chat history with Khan, which suggested he was upset about Khan’s family arranging her marriage to someone else. After further investigation, Vadar was arrested on charges of murder under Section 103 (1) of the Bombay Police Act.
The police are awaiting the results of a post-mortem examination to confirm whether Khan jumped or was pushed.
