Thane:A man from the Rabodi area here shot his daughter-in-law dead during a petty argument over serving breakfast, the police officials informed. The woman was critically injured after being shot and succumbed to her injuries while receiving treatment. A case has been registered against the accused at the Rabodi police station here, though he reportedly absconded after the incident.
Kashinath Patil (76), a sand trader by profession, had been complaining about his daughter-in-law not serving him breakfast in time. The issue had become a recurring matter of household arguments over the past few days, as informed by senior police officer Ghatekar who is probing the case. A dispute broke out between the two over the same issue on Thursday morning at around 11 am. However, unlike other days, this one soon escalated into a heated-up fight and in a fit of rage, the man grabbed a licensed revolver he owned and shot the woman.
