The Bibvewadi police arrested Asif Dastagir Attar (26), a casual worker, on the charge of strangulating his mother-in-law, Anarkali Mohammed Terane (45), at their residence in Bibvewadi on Saturday.

Attar and his mother-in-law are from Belagavi in Karnataka and moved here 10 months ago in search of a livelihood.

Attar’s wife had gone to Belagavi. “For the past few months, Attar would frequently quarrel with Anarkali over domestic issues.

On Friday night, he left home and spent a night at an open ground in Bibvewadi.

He returned home around 8.30am on Saturday and argued with his mother-in-law. He then picked up a scarf and strangulated Anarkali.

After she collapsed on the floor, he ran away to a relative’s house nearby,” senior inspector Sunil Zavare of Bibvewadi police told TOI.

A case under Sections 302 (murder) and 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) of Indian Penal Code was registered at Bibwewadi police station against Attar.
