Man withdraws money from grandmother's account, stabs her to death after she confronts him

In another case, a 24-year-old man was arrested for allegedly murdering his grandmother in Nagpur following a dispute over money withdrawn from her bank account, a police official said on Friday, reported PTI.

Accused Raju Pramod Bagde allegedly stole his 68-year-old grandmother Indubai Kishor Chavan's ATM card on May 18 and withdrew Rs 20,000 over the next two days, which led to the elderly woman confronting him, the official said, reported PTI.

"It led to a heated argument. When Bagde returned home that evening in an intoxicated condition, another quarrel broke out on the same issue, during which he stabbed her multiple times. He tried to wipe off the bloodstains before fleeing after locking the house from outside," the official said, reported PTI.

The crime came to light two days later when a foul smell started emanating from the house, the Pachpaoli police station official added.

Bagde was held from Kalmeshwar area soon after, the official said.
