In a shocking incident reported in Pune, Maharashtra, a 36-year-old businessman, Nikhil Khanna, lost his life after a violent altercation with his wife at their upscale apartment in Wanavdi on Friday. The tragic event unfolded when Nikhil's wife, Renuka, allegedly punched him on the nose, causing severe injuries that led to his untimely death.
The couple, married for six years after a love marriage, had an argument on Friday afternoon. According to a senior police officer from Wanavdi Police station, the dispute arose from Nikhil's failure to fulfill Renuka's expectations for her birthday celebration. Renuka was reportedly upset because Nikhil did not take her to Dubai as she desired and did not present her with expensive gifts on her birthday and their anniversary. Furthermore, tension escalated as Nikhil did not respond favorably to Renuka's wish to travel to Delhi for the birthdays of some relatives.
During the heated argument, Renuka allegedly punched Nikhil in the face, resulting in a forceful impact that led to a broken nose and damaged teeth. The severity of the injuries caused Nikhil to lose consciousness, and he succumbed to heavy bleeding.
In response to this tragic incident, the police have registered a case against Renuka under IPC Section 302, classifying the event as a case of culpable homicide. Renuka has been taken into custody for further investigation into the circumstances surrounding her husband's death.
This unfortunate incident sheds light on the complexities of interpersonal relationships and the potential consequences of unresolved conflicts. The legal process will now determine the course of action in seeking justice for Nikhil Khanna's untimely demise.
According to the police, Renuka Jakhar, also known as Renuka Nikhil Khanna (36), found herself deeply upset over unmet birthday wishes and an ongoing argument with her husband, Nikhil Pushkaraj Khanna (36), regarding their anniversary celebrations. The dispute escalated to a tragic extent when, in a fit of anger, Renuka allegedly punched her husband in the face, resulting in fatal consequences. However, investigators are now exploring the possibility that the forceful blow might have been delivered with a blunt object, raising suspicions about Renuka's potential intoxication during the incident.
Nikhil, a realtor who also manages a school in Nana Peth, was promptly rushed to Sassoon Hospital after the altercation. Despite medical intervention, he tragically passed away. Renuka has been taken into police custody as part of the ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding her husband's death.
The police shed light on the couple's background, revealing that Nikhil and Renuka had a love marriage six years ago and were residing with Nikhil's parents. Nikhil's father, Dr. Pushkaraj, is a doctor, and Nikhil's professional endeavors include both real estate and education. The tension between the couple had been building over time, exacerbated by Nikhil's inability to fulfill Renuka's desire to celebrate her birthday in Dubai on September 18 and the perceived lackluster gift on their November 5 wedding anniversary.
Furthermore, the unresolved matter of attending her niece's birthday celebrations in Delhi in December added to the couple's distress due to unclear communication from Nikhil. The culmination of these grievances led to a heated clash between the couple around 1:30 pm on Friday.
In the aftermath of the incident, Renuka, in a state of panic, called her father-in-law, Dr. Pushkaraj Khanna. Upon arrival, he immediately summoned an ambulance and rushed Nikhil to Sassoon Hospital, concurrently informing the police of the situation. During this time, Renuka was detained by the police for further investigation.
Sanjay Patange, senior police inspector at Wanwadi police station, expressed suspicion regarding Renuka's potential intoxication during the altercation. The investigation is now focused on determining the exact circumstances of the incident, including the nature of the blow inflicted on Nikhil and the role of alcohol in the tragic events that unfolded.
