Nagpur: Kalamna police nabbed the absconding accused Mahesh Gondane who had murdered a young labourer in Chikhli slums here on Tuesday night. After killing Gautam Madhukar Raut (17), Mahesh Gondane (50) ran away from the locality.
Deceased Gautam was a resident of Chikhli slums. Accused Mahesh Gondane also resides in the same locality.
According to sources, Gautam was ‘eying’ Gondane’s daughter. Gondane had warned him several times to stay away from his daughter. However, he allegedly continued passing obscene remarks at Gondane’s daughter. Around 7 pm on Tuesday, Gautam returned home. Gondane too was sitting near his house. Gondane, who was allegedly in an inebriated condition, picked up a quarrel with Gautam. The wordy duel took a bloody turn when Gondane whipped out a sharp-edged weapon and attacked Gautam on his thigh. As Gautam collapsed, Gondane fled the spot. A profusely bleeding Gautam was lying at the spot for more than half-an-hour. After sometime, some residents took him to Mayo Hospital where he died due to excessive bleeding.
