Uncle tragically took the life of his nephew in the early hours of Sunday amid a heated exchange between the two, fueled by alcohol. However, it came to light on Monday afternoon in Santa Cruz-Ponda, where an altercation unfolded Krishna Naik, 67 years old, inflicted fatal injuries upon his nephew, Avinash Naik, employing stones and other objects, leading to Avinash’s premature death.
Promptly responding to the incident, law enforcement detained Krishna Naik on charges of murder. Fingerprint experts were swiftly dispatched to the scene to secure vital evidence, while Inspector Tushar Naik oversaw the ensuing procedures, including the post-mortem examination.
