Nagpur: A 53-year-old woman’s death was considered a natural demise by the police in April last year. Following forensic analysis, it turned out to be a murder, which led to the arrest of her son Tejlal Bilone, 43, one year and seven months later.
Tejpal, who earned a livelihood as a labourer, allegedly thrashed mother Sushila to death in the early hours of April 28 last year at their residence at Ramteke Lane, Sujata Nagar, Ajni. Tejpal had a heated argument with his family, including mother, for not paying electric bill, following which the power supply had been discontinued.
On the evening of the day before she was beaten to death, Tejpal was cornered by his family as the ground floor of their residence had been plunged into darkness due to snapped power supply. This had left Tejpal enraged.
Tejpal is learnt to have assaulted his mother when she came to sleep on the ground floor, leading to her death. Ajni police had initially registered it as a case of accidental death after sending her body for post mortem at Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH).
The post mortem and chemical analysis report conclusively stated that Sushila had suffered assault, which led to her death.
