CRPF Retiree Murders Daughter Following Marriage to Underage Spouse: Police Reports

Mumbai Murder Investigation Unveils Family's Tragedy

In a shocking turn of events in Jalgaon, a 24-year-old woman named Tripti Wagh was brutally murdered by her own father, a retired CRPF official, due to a bitter disagreement over her marriage. This heart-wrenching incident unfolded during a family gathering at Chopda tehsil in Maharashtra, as reported by the police on Tuesday.

Kiran Mangle, aged 50, showed no mercy as he gunned down his daughter Tripti with his licensed revolver. Her husband, Avinash Wagh, who also suffered grievous injuries, is a Class 12 pass-out. This harrowing incident took place during the 'haldi' ceremony of Avinash's sister.

A close examination of the incident reveals that Kiran Mangle's resentment stemmed from the educational gap between Tripti and her husband. His animosity culminated in the tragic loss of his own daughter, who was three months pregnant at the time, making it her second pregnancy. Alarmingly, followers of this family tragedy believe that Kiran had previously forced Tripti to abort her first pregnancy[2][3].

In a series of tragic events, the accused father was savagely beaten by a mob shortly after the shooting incident. He was subsequently admitted to a private hospital in Jalgaon, where he currently remains on ventilator support[1][2]. Avinash, the victim's husband, is currently receiving intensive care for his bullet wounds at Sassoon General Hospital in Pune[1][2].

Police took quick action in the matter and booked Kiran Mangle and his son Nikhil under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita and the Arms Act based on a complaint by Priyanka Wagh, Avinash's mother. Nikhil was arrested but is yet to be formally taken into custody due to his father's deteriorating health[1][2].

As the investigation progresses, the authorities are delving into the past threats made by Kiran Mangle against Tripti and the rest of her family. However, due to the distressing circumstances, official statements from the family members have yet to be recorded[3].

  1. Havoc gripped the Wagh family when Avinash's father, Kiran Mangle, aimed his licensed revolver at Tripti during a family gathering, a horrific act that echoed the narrative of crime and justice.
  2. In a chilling coincidence, according to news reports, Kiran Mangle allegedly forced Tripti to terminate her first pregnancy, adding a layer of tragic depth to the family's tale that further unfolds in the realm of general news and politics.
  3. As the investigation into the Chopda tehsil murder digs deeper, all eyes are on Kiran Mangle's son, Nikhil, who is currently in police custody over the incident, while Kiran itself lies in critical condition in a hospital in Jalgaon.
  4. While the public square buzzes with discussions around the family's plight, the political landscape remains silent on the issue, suggesting a disconnect between the happenings in the realm of crime and justice and the overall political discourse.
Father of a 24-year-old medical graduate, who is a retiree from CRPF, is accused of her murder in Jalgaon. It appears that the father held a deep resentment towards his daughter due to her marriage choice, as her husband only completed class 12. Police confirmed this information on Tuesday.
