A man allegedly killed his friend on the eve of his wedding in Maharashtra's Beed district. According to the police, the accused committed the crime because he feared that the victim would disrupt the ceremony over an unpaid debt of Rs 1.5 lakh, news agency PTI reported.
The victim, Chand, also known as Guddu Tamboli (30), was found bludgeoned to death during the early hours of Monday on the outskirts of Khokarmoh village in Shirur Kasar tehsil.
Further investigations by the authorities indicated that Chand had lent Rs 1.5 lakh to his friend Atiq Tamboli and was persistently demanding repayment.
“The victim had apparently threatened to show up at the venue of Atiq's (accused) wedding on Monday and cause disturbances if the money lent by him was not returned," said a local crime branch officer.
The officer further highlighted that the accused was concerned about the threat he received from the victim and also feared social humiliation on his wedding day.
On Sunday night, he called the victim to a secluded spot and allegedly killed him by crushing his head with a stone before absconding, PTI reported.
Chand's body was found on Monday, following which the police launched an investigation. Based on technical surveillance and localised intelligence, the authorities apprehended Atiq from Beed city on the same day and booked him on charges of murder.
