· Free Press Journal

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: In a twist in the investigation into the deaths of the Chandwade couple and their 19-year-old son after they fell from Khawalya mountain near Teesgaon in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar last Friday, it has been revealed that the mobile phone was not the only reason behind the incident. The dispute between the Chandwade couple over Muralidhar’s renewed contact with his parents and sisters after 17 years also reportedly played a role. Deceased Muralidhar Chandwade had been in contact with his parents and sisters for the past four months, due to which there were differences between him, his wife Sangeeta and son Kunal. His sister, Shobha Mhaske from Dhangar Pimpalgaon in Ambad, Jalna district, revealed several unknown facts.

Following the incident, an altercation broke out between relatives from both sides at Ghati Hospital. Consequently, Muralidhar’s last rites were performed in his village, while his wife and son were cremated in Mukundwadi. However, on Sunday, relatives from both families travelled to Paithan with the ashes and immersed them together in the Godavari River.

His family had opposed the marriage because Sangeeta would not do farm work. After the death of their eldest son, the Chandwade couple moved to Sambhajinagar. Muralidhar had not been in contact with his parents and sisters for 17-18 years.
Following a dispute, Muralidhar had been living separately from his wife and son for a month. Nevertheless, the responsibility for expenses such as Kunal’s tuition, mobile charges and house rent still rested with him. A few days ago, when he visited his village for work related to a loan waiver, he told his sister that his wife and son had verbally abused him and thrown him out of the house.
