Palghar: A horrific case of murder has come to light from Palghar of Maharashtra. A 19-yr-old girl was brutally attacked by her own lover and later dumped and left to die in the marshy terrain near Eklare village in Palghar. The accused has now been brought under custody. The accused reportedly entered into a verbal argument with his girlfriend and the fight took an ugly turn to the extent that the accused hit the girl in her head with a stone. Soon she started bleeding. Out of fear the accused convinced her that he would hospitalise her. Both left the place on a bike but the victim never reached a hospital.
Local residents assisted search operation
Local residents who had heard the noises of their quarrel and were aware that the girl was attacked by her own boyfriend assisted the police to solve the case, recover the victim's body and arrest the accused. Local residents claimed that the parents of the couple did not approve of their relationship.
It seems to be clear that the crime was committed in a heat of the moment of a quarrel that took an aggressive turn, it is yet to be ascertained the exact reason of such hatred. Police are still interrogating the accused and the investigation is underway.
