Satara Maharashtra Horror: Teacher Father Kills 17-Year-Old Daughter Over TV and Mobile Dispute - Full Story

Satara, Maharashtra: A shocking crime case from Satara district has shocked the entire state. A 47-year-old school teacher allegedly killed his 17-year-old daughter after a dispute over watching television and mobile phone use.

This case happened in Godoli area of Satara city and is now being investigated by Satara City Police under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Section 103(1).

What Happened in Satara on That Night?

According to police reports, the incident took place on Saturday night. The victim, identified as Arya Kadam, a Class 11 student, had an argument with her younger brother and sister over watching TV at home.

During the argument, police said Arya allegedly punched her younger sister. When her father, Purushottam Kadam, scolded her, the situation escalated. Arya reportedly picked up a cricket bat and used abusive language.

Police said Purushottam then snatched the bat and struck his daughter on the head. She suffered severe head injuries and died on the spot.

Attempt to Hide Evidence

After the incident, police allege that attempts were made to destroy evidence:

  • Bloodstains on the floor were cleaned
  • The victim's T-shirt was washed in a washing machine multiple times
  • The cricket bat was hidden on the roof of the house
  • Initially, the family told police that the girl hit her head against a wall

Neighbours and relatives informed the police on Sunday morning through Dial 112 helpline. When officers arrived, they found inconsistencies in the parents' statement.

Police Investigation and Arrest

During interrogation, the mother, Sheela Kadam, who is also a teacher, reportedly told the truth to the police. After that, the father confessed to the crime.

Police recovered the bloodstained cricket bat from the roof. The accused was produced before a Satara court and remanded to police custody.

During questioning, the father claimed that his daughter had behavioural issues and was addicted to mobile and TV. However, neighbours described Arya as a friendly and loving girl who mingled with everyone.

Police investigation also revealed that Arya was undergoing psychiatric treatment in Pune and was on daily medication. Both parents are teachers by profession.

Case Filed Under New Law

Satara City Police have registered a case under Section 103(1) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for murder. Additional charges for destruction of evidence may also be added.

Sub-divisional Police Officer Vipul Patil confirmed that investigation is ongoing.

Lesson From This Case

  1. Excessive use of mobile and TV can create serious family conflicts. Parents should talk calmly with children.
  2. Violence is never a solution to family disputes. Always seek counselling or help from relatives.
  3. If you see domestic violence, immediately call police helpline 112 or Women Helpline.
