On February 21, 2019, Pramod, who was already in an inebriated condition, demanded money from Kamlabai to enjoy liquor. When she refused, he picked up a quarrel with her. After heated exchanges, he picked up an axe and attacked Kamlabai, killing her on the spot. He then tried to destroy the evidence by washing the blood stained axe.
Following a complaint lodged by Sachin Laxmikant Sangeetrai (27), a resident of Ambala, Ramtek Police arrested Pramod on charges under Sections 302 and 201 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) on the same day.
