Family Dispute Leads to Fatal Hill Fall of Chandgude Family in Maharashtra
Three members of the Chandgude family—father Murlidhar, mother Sangeeta, and their 19-year-old son Kunal—died after falling from a hill in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar on August 21. Police investigations indicate a prolonged family dispute caused significant stress, leading Kunal to threaten suicide. Efforts by police and fire brigade to persuade him lasted nearly two hours before the fatal fall occurred when Murlidhar tried to intervene and Sangeeta subsequently jumped. Family members dismissed reports linking the incident to a mobile phone, emphasizing Kunal's wish for his parents to reconcile.
