Jalgaon doctor shot by ex-CRPF dad for marrying Std 12 pass

NASHIK: A former sub-inspector of the Central Reserve Police Force shot his daughter dead and critically injured her husband while the couple were at a pre-wedding ceremony of a relative on Saturday night in Jalgaon's Chopda town, about 230km from Nashik.
Jalgaon police said Kiran Arjun Mangle (48) was allegedly angry with his daughter, Trupti (24), an MBBS graduate, for marrying Avinash Wagh (28), a Std XII pass out who works as a helper with a Pune-based private company. The couple had married last year.
The shooting occurred around 10.15pm, in the Ambedkarnagar area of Chopda town, in full view of guests who had gathered for the haldi ceremony of one of Avinash's relatives. "Mangle fired three rounds from his licensed pistol. Trupti died on the spot while Avinash received two gunshot wounds to his back and hand. On Sunday, he was moved to a hospital in Pune for treatment," Jalgaon's superintendent of police (SP) Maheswar Reddy told TOI.
Reddy said after the shooting, Mangle was caught by guests and beaten severely. "They kicked and punched him. He too has suffered serious injuries and is now under treatment at Jalgaon Civil Hospital. We have recovered the pistol that was used in the crime," Reddy said, adding that based on a complaint filed by Avinash's mother, the Chopda police registered a case under BNS sections 103(1) (murder) and 109(1) (attempt to murder), among others, against Mangle.
"Trupti and Avinash lived in Pune. When Mangle heard they were in Chopda for the ceremony, he travelled some 50km from his home in Shirpur (Dhule district), gatecrashed the event and opened fire at the couple," Reddy said.
The SP added that Trupti had completed her MBBS from a private medical college in Pune's Pimpri. "The couple eloped and got married a year ago, when Trupti was in her final year of studies. We've been told Mangle was angry because his daughter had married a man who wasn't as educated as her and earned about Rs 12,000 a month," Reddy said.
