Thane (PTI): A 29-year-old man allegedly strangulated his mother to death with the help of a woman relative in Maharashtra's Thane district after she disapproved of their affair, an official said on Wednesday.
The incident took place in Bhiwandi town on Tuesday and the man initially tried to pass it off as a case of accident, senior police inspector Madan Ballal from Narpoli police station said.
After a probe into the incident, the police on Wednesday arrested the man and his 30-year-old woman relative, he said.
The accused woman is the niece of the deceased's husband. She was staying with the deceased's family here, the official said.
The deceased used to have frequent quarrels with her son over his affair with the relative.
On Tuesday, the two accused allegedly strangulated the victim to death with a belt, the official said.
The deceased's son initially tried to mislead the police by passing it off as an accident.
But following a complaint by other family members and a probe into the incident, the police arrested the man and his relative and registered a case against them under Indian Penal Code Sections 302 (murder) and 34 (common intention), the official said.
The body was sent to a government hospital for postmortem, the police added.

Dubai, May 19: A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi suffered a “hard landing” on Sunday, Iranian state television reported, without immediately elaborating.
Raisi was travelling in Iran's East Azerbaijan province. State TV described the area of the incident happening as being near Jolfa, a city on the border with with the nation of Azerbaijan, some 600 kilometres (375 miles) northwest of the Iranian capital, Tehran.
Raisi had been in Azerbaijan early Sunday to inaugurate a dam with Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev. The dam is the third one that the two nations built on the Aras River.
Iran flies a variety of helicopters in the country, but international sanctions make it difficult to obtain parts for them. Its military air fleet also largely dates back to before the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Raisi, 63, is a hard-liner who formerly led the country's judiciary. He is viewed as a protégé of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and some analysts have suggested he could replace the 85-year-old leader after his death or resignation from the role.
