Thane: A 22-year-old engineering student has been sentenced to life imprisonment by a court in Vasai of neighbouring Palghar district on Friday for killing his father. District Judge N R Pradhan also imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 on the accused, Mayank Mukesh Kumrawat.
Additional Public Prosecutor Ujwala Moholkar told the court that the accused lived with his parents at Ram Rahim Garden housing complex in Vasai. The prosecution relied on medical evidence and other&nbsp;links in connection with the incident to prove the charge. It also mentioned the post-mortem notes, according to which there were as many as 23 injuries on the body. There used to be frequent quarrels over petty issues between Mayank, studying engineering at a college in Vasai, and his father Mukesh Ramkaran Kumrawat (49), who worked as an engineer with a company, it was claimed.
After another such fight on April 12, 2014, Mayank went out and brought a sickle and sharpened it. An hour later, he attacked his father with the sickle killing him on the spot. At the time of the offence, the accused and his parents were the only people in the house.
The prosecution examined the watchman of the society who used to see the family members quarrel. On the day of the incident, the watchman had seen the accused going out of the house at around 2 PM and return shortly with something in his hand. Taking serious view of the crime, the judge awarded life sentence to the accused.
