A 23-year-old man, fed up with the constant harassment from his family, attacked his father, uncle, and grandfather with a knife. The father and grandfather were killed in the attack, while the uncle was seriously injured. After the murder, the young man appeared at the police station with a knife. The incident took place in Andheri on Tuesday midnight.
The accused, Chetan Bhatre (23), lives in Santoshi Mata Chali in Andheri (East). He works as a delivery boy. On Wednesday around 1 am, Bhatre arrived at the police station with a blood-stained knife. He told the police that he had attacked his father, uncle and grandfather.
Father Manoj Bhatre (57), grandfather Babu Bhatre (79) and uncle Anil Bhatre (54) had been harassing him since childhood.
Murder due to constant harassment
Tired of this trouble, his mother also had to leave home. Meanwhile, his father, grandfather, and uncle were constantly drinking and harassing him. They used to take away his and his sister's salaries. Chetan told the police that they used to fight frequently at home if he did not hand over the money.
Tuesday's fight ended in a fight
On Tuesday night, after returning from work at 11 pm, the father started a fight over money. His grandfather and uncle were also supporting him. Enraged, Chetan attacked the three with a kitchen knife.
First, the father's throat was slit, then the grandfather and uncle were attacked. The father and grandfather died on the spot, while the uncle suffered a serious injury to his chin. The locals immediately admitted the uncle to the hospital. He was then shifted to Nair Hospital and is undergoing treatment.
Murder case registered
MiDC Police Station Senior Inspector Ravindra Wani said that a case has been registered against Chetan Bhatre for murder and assault with a weapon under various sections of the Indian Penal Code.
He will be produced in court on Thursday. Meanwhile, the bodies of Manoj and Babu have been sent to Cooper Hospital in Vile Parle for autopsy.
