Family Argument Turns Deadly

According to the MIDC police, the tragic incident occurred at 11:30 p.m. on September 23.

The altercation, involving his father, Manoj Bhatre,57, grandfather, Babu Bhatre,79, and uncle, Anil Bhatre,45, engaged in a fierce quarrel.

Fatal Knife Attack

The argument intensified as his father, Manoj, was in an inebriated state. Driven to a breaking point by the years of relentless disputes, Chetan allegedly grabbed a kitchen knife and launched a deadly attack on the three men. The assault proved fatal for both his father and grandfather, who died on the spot. His uncle, Anil Bhatre sustained serious injuries and is currently undergoing treatment at Nair Hospital.

Alcohol-Fuelled Quarrels Behind Motive

Police investigation revealed that Chetan's family had been plagued by constant quarrels due to the alcohol addiction of his father, grandfather, and uncle. The accused disclosed that the motive behind the offence was continuous harassment by the above three family members since his childhood, due to which his mother had left home.

He further stated that all three were habitual drunkards who used to fight daily under the influence of alcohol. Chetan also alleged that his father and other family elders were wasting the money he and his sister earned on alcohol.
