In a tragic turn of events, a 16-year-old girl was allegedly bludgeoned to death by her own father, a schoolteacher, after an argument over her poor performance in a test in Maharashtra’s Sangli district, police stated on Monday. 

The incident took place on Saturday night in Nelkaranji village of Atpadi tehsil, as per news agency PTI. 

According to an official, the accused, 45-year-old Dhondiram Bhosale, was enraged at his daughter Sadhana, a Class 12 student, for performing poorly in a test, which led to a heated argument. In a fit of rage, Bhosale picked up the wooden handle of a stone grinder used for making flour and fatally assaulted her in front of his wife and son, reported news agency PTI.
