Lonavala Man Arrested for Grandson's Death in Property Dispute ShootingPreviousNext

In Lonavala, an 83-year-old man was arrested for allegedly shooting his 33-year-old grandson, a lawyer, over a property dispute. The family initially claimed the shooting was accidental while cleaning a licensed rifle, but police investigations, including post-mortem findings and blood evidence, raised doubts. Four other family members were also arrested for allegedly concealing evidence by removing CCTV cameras. The case highlights tensions over property and subsequent attempts to obscure the incident.
