About The Case

The accused runs a furniture shop in Badlapur and lives with his wife and son. His father retired from the Navy and was returning to his home in south Mumbai. It is said that Satish Sharma suspected that his cousin Pravin had illicit relations with his wife, which led to a quarrel between them, after which the wife left to live with her in-laws in south Mumbai, the official said.

Satish’s parents came to Badlapur on Tuesday to resolve the domestic dispute and also to take along his six-year-old son with them to Mumbai, the official said. This angered Satish, who then engaged in a heated argument with his father and Vikas, brother of Pravin. The argument then escalated into a scuffle between them, the official said. While the families were at Chikhloli on Kalyan-Badlapur road, an enraged Satish dashed against their vehicle with his car, the official said.
