Satara:
A 21-year-old MBBS student died after she was allegedly pushed from the third floor of a residential building in Karad in Maharashtra’s Satara district by her male friend, who has been arrested, a police official said on Thursday.
The victim, hailing from Bihar, was a student of Krishna Vishwa Vidyalaya in Karad.
Dhruv Chikkara, from Sonipat in Haryana, allegedly pushed her from Suncity building in Karad’s Malkapur area after an argument on June 30, he said.
“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 victim had come to his flat located at Suncity. Their dispute intensified and he pushed the girl down,” said Satara Superintendent of Police Sameer Shaikh.
“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 victim’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 said.
The accused used to physically abuse her daughter, who had confided about this to her mother, the official said quoting the complaint.
“Her mother had advised her to stay away from him. But the victim had told her he pursued her when she tried to stay away from him. We have arrested Chikkara for murder,” the SP said.
