"The victim- Rakhmabai Gavte- and the accused were neighbours and also owned agricultural lands in a nearby village. Their plots were located next to each other. The man's cattle used to enter the victim's plot and destroy her crops," he said.
"The duo used to quarrel over this issue frequently. On Wednesday, following an argument with the woman, Khane hit her on her head with a stone, following which she died. He hid the body in the bushes on the farmland," the official added.
