A 21-year-old MBBS student, who was allegedly pushed from the third floor of a residential building in Karad in Maharashtra’s Satara district by her male friend died on Tuesday night.
According to police, the accused, Dhruv Chikkara from Haryana’s Sonipat has been arrested. The deceased, hailing from Bihar, was a student of Krishna Vishwa Vidyalaya in Karad.
The accused allegedly pushed her from Suncity building in Karad’s Malkapur area after an argument on June 30.
“Both studied together and were in a relationship for the last two years. For the last few days, both were having some disputes. On June 30, the deceased had come to his flat located at Suncity. Their dispute intensified and he pushed the girl down,” Satara Superintendent of Police Sameer Shaikh said.
“The accused had some bruises on his body and he told us he sustained injuries while coming down from the building. However, we suspect he got bruised after a physical spat with the girl. The deceased’s mother, who is a doctor in Bihar, in her complaint claimed Chikkara used to fight with her daughter and object to her talking to male collegemates,” the SP further said.
While quoting the complaint, the official said that the accused used to physically abuse her daughter, who had confided about this to her mother.
“Her mother had advised her to stay away from him. But the deceased had told her he pursued her when she tried to stay away from him. We have arrested Chikkara for murder,” SP Shaikh added.
