A woman killed her daughter at their residence in the wee hours of Monday and claimed she had died after falling unconscious due to epilepsy. However, the post-mortem examination revealed that the 19-year-old had died due to strangulation. It is alleged that the mother was unhappy with her daughter’s love interest and decision to marry him.

Tina Umesh Bagade, 40, a resident of Kherwadi, Khar East, worked from home, selling household products. Her daughter Bhumika—an HSC student—was residing with her. According to the police, the duo would quarrel regularly over Bhumika’s plans to marry her boyfriend Rohit. Bhumika had also uploaded photos of herself with Rohit on her social media profiles.
