In a shocking incident, a 44-year-old woman was fatally stabbed by her son-in-law during a Sankranti celebration visit in Belagavi. Renuka Sridhara Padumukhe, a resident of Kalyani Nagar, was attacked by Shubham Datta Birje, 24, at her daughter’s residence in Rayat Galli Vadagaon on Monday morning.
Renuka had visited her daughter Chhaya’s house around 11:00 AM to deliver festive offerings. However, an argument reportedly broke out between Renuka and Shubham, who had been married to Chhaya for three years. The altercation escalated, and Shubham allegedly stabbed Renuka in the thigh with a knife.
Renuka succumbed to her injuries, while Shubham, who also sustained serious injuries during the incident, was rushed to Hospital for treatment.
Senior officials, including DCP Rohan Jagadish and CPI, visited the scene to oversee the investigation.
