In a disturbing incident that has shaken Maharashtra, a 21-year-old woman performed marriage rituals with her deceased boyfriend's body after her father and brothers allegedly murdered him in Nanded's old Ganj area.
The Fatal Confrontation
According to police reports, the tragic sequence of events unfolded on Thursday evening when Saksham Tate, the victim, was standing with his friends in the old Ganj area. A heated argument erupted between Tate and Himesh Mamidwar, the brother of the woman identified as Aanchal.
The confrontation quickly turned violent, leading to what authorities are describing as a premeditated murder. Police investigation reveals that the dispute was rooted in the romantic relationship between Tate and Aanchal, which her family strongly opposed.
Gruesome Aftermath and Symbolic Marriage
In a heartbreaking turn of events, after learning about her boyfriend's death, Aanchal decided to perform marriage rituals with his corpse. This symbolic act has added another layer of tragedy to an already horrifying crime.
Local authorities have confirmed that the incident occurred on November 30, 2025, though the exact timing of the murder and subsequent events are still under investigation. The police have registered a case and are conducting a thorough probe into the matter.
Police Investigation and Arrests
Law enforcement officials have taken the case seriously and have initiated legal proceedings against the accused family members. Aanchal's father and brothers are currently facing murder charges, with police gathering evidence and witness statements to build a strong case.
The incident has sparked outrage in the local community and raised serious questions about honor-based violence in the region. Community leaders and women's rights activists have called for swift justice and stricter implementation of laws against such crimes.
This case highlights the continuing challenge of honor killings in certain parts of India and the extreme measures some families resort to when opposing relationships they consider inappropriate.
