Two-child policy in way of becoming sarpanch, Maharashtra man ‘killed’ one of twin daughters
The accused father conspired with the current sarpanch to kill his daughter to comply with the two-child rule for village elections, police said.
- Recently, Pandurang Kondmangale allegedly pushed his elder twin daughter Prachi into Nizamsagar Canal, where villagers reached within 10 minutes and found her lifeless body.
- He sought advice from Ganesh Shinde, current sarpanch, and the men first weighed adoption and abandonment before allegedly conspiring to kill Prachi, police said.
- Pictures circulated widely on social media, WhatsApp and newspapers helped identify Prachi, and because the body was pulled out soon and not bloated, police took clear pictures of her face.
- When confronted, Kondmangale admitted killing his daughter, and police booked him under sections of murder and conspiracy, with the current sarpanch also booked as a co-conspirator.
- As Maharashtra recently began gearing up for panchayat elections scheduled for June this year, Maharashtra's Panchayat Raj Act barred candidates with more than two children, creating an eligibility obstacle.
