Minor booked for friend’s death

Nagpur: Chetan Khangarle, 15, was strangled to death by his minor friend who had grabbed his neck to save himself from getting drowned at a rivulet near New Nanda on June 20.
It’s learnt Khangarle was sitting on the bank of the rivulets when the minor started drowning. The desperate minor had grabbed Khangarle’s leg to save himself. Khangarle lost balance and fell into the rivulet.
The minor then grabbed Khangarle to remain afloat, and in the process ended up strangulating him. Khaparkheda police have charged the minor with culpable homicide not amounting to murder under section 304 of IPC.
