Woman Killed by Boyfriend After Ending 5-Year Relationship Over Her Marriage Fixed Elsewhere.
📍Kolhapur (Maharashtra)
A 23-year-old woman, Tarannum Bashir Naik, was allegedly pushed into a deep gorge near Naikwadi by her 25-year-old boyfriend, Shripad Dinkar Wadu.
The two were in a relationship for five years. Tarannum told him her marriage was fixed elsewhere and she could not continue the relationship. Angered by this, he allegedly pushed her down. He first told police she was missing and later called it a selfie accident. During questioning, he reportedly confessed. Her body was recovered from the gorge, about 1,000 feet deep.
