Her mother filed a complaint against her husband, Dondiba Bhosale, at Nelkaranji village in Atpadi police station. The police subsequently arrested the 45-year-old accused.

According to the police, the girl was a 12th-standard student who was preparing for NEET. She dreamed of becoming a doctor after scoring 92.6 percent in her 10th-grade board exam. However, the girl performed poorly in the mock tests last Friday. Her father got furious and thrashed her.
