Thane: A fight between a 32-year-old man and his mother-in-law resulted in him killing her by pushing her off the balcony of his flat in Thane. He was arrested on Tuesday.

The 68-year-old victim identified as Kamaljit Kaur, went to her son-in-law Ankush Batti's home on Monday to enquire about her hearing and speech-impaired daughter, whom Batti was allegedly harassing. Batti had a quarrel with his mother-in-law over some issue following which he allegedly hit her and then pushed her from the balcony of his flat, located on the first floor of a residential building on Ghodbunder Road, on late Monday night, Thane police spokesperson Sukhada Narkar said. The woman fell on the ground and died.
