Not Just a Mobile-Phone Quarrel: Police Reveal Months of Family Stress Before Sambhajinagar Cliff Deaths

  • On Friday, a 19-year-old named Kunal Chandgude and his parents, Murlidhar Chandgude and Sangita, died following a fall from Khawadya Hill in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, India.
  • Deputy Commissioner of Police Pankaj Atulkar reported that the family had experienced significant household stress for two to three months, with initial investigations linking the incident to a mobile phone payment dispute.
  • Before the situation turned fatal, rescue personnel spent nearly 1.5 to 2 hours attempting to persuade Kunal to move away from the edge of the 400-foot cliff.
  • The situation turned fatal when the parents attempted to intervene; Murlidhar lost his balance and fell with his son, followed by Sangita, resulting in a triple fatality.
  • Investigators are continuing inquiries into the root cause of the family dispute to fully understand the circumstances that led to this incident, DCP Atulkar said.
