Couple detained after daughter's body is found in autorickshaw in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (PTI): A couple was detained while they were taking their daughter's corpse in an autorickshaw after she died under mysterious circumstances at their rented residence in Tisgaon area of Maharashtra's Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar city, a police official said on Friday.
The incident came to light around 9pm on Thursday after the driver of the autorickshaw tipped off the police, the official added.
"He told police about the presence of a heavy rolled-up mattress with the couple, following which a team intercepted the three-wheeler. The body of a woman was found concealed in the rolled-up mattress. The couple said the body was that of her daughter, who had hanged herself. They claimed they were taking the body to Kannad," he said.
"On being interrogated, the couple said the 21-year-old woman, identified as Nandini Dhivre, had a love marriage some two years ago, but had returned to her maternal home a few days ago after her husband abandoned her. The couple and the daughter would have frequent quarrels. On Thursday night, the woman was allegedly strangled by the couple though this aspect is under probe," the official said.
At present, an accidental death report has been registered and further action will be taken after the post mortem report gives a clear cause of death, the Waluj police station official said.

We received request; will decide soon whether to support TVK: Thirumavalavan
Chennai (PTI): VCK leader Thol Thirumavalavan on Thursday said that his party received a request from TVK for support and the high-level committee of his party will decide whether to support the Vijay-led party to form the government.
The TVK won 108 seats in the 234-member Assembly and emerged as the single largest party. Vijay will have to resign from one of the two constituencies he has won.
Though the Congress party, which has five MLAs, has extended support to TVK, the actor-politician-led party was still short of as many seats to touch the magic number of 118, the majority mark in the 234-member House.
"We received the request letter from TVK. We are thankful for that. We have not ignored his (Vijay's) request. We have a procedure. Therefore, our party's high-level committee will decide soon. We are going to discuss the merits and demerits of our position," the VCK leader told reporters here.
With regard to the delay in the governor's call to the TVK, which is the single largest party, to form the government, Thirumavalavan requested the governor to invite Vijay to form the government. "It is a constitutional right and people's verdict," he added.
Asserting that the governor cannot say that Vijay should hold 118 MLAs' support now itself to form the government, he said that after taking over power, Vijay has to prove an absolute majority only on the floor of the Assembly.
