Woman held for allegedly killing daughter

She was reportedly upset over her love relationship with a man from other caste Ulhasnagar: In a shocking incident that has sent shockwaves across Ulhasnagar, a mother allegedly strangled her 19-year-old daughter to death after opposing her relationship with a young man from another caste. According to the police, the accused, identified as Asha Garad, allegedly killed her daughter Amruta Garad in a fit of rage when the latter was preparing to leave home with the man she was in a relationship with. The accused has been arrested by Ulhasnagar Police Station No. 1, and further investigation is underway. According to the police, the incident took place at Bhaiyyasaheb Ambedkar Nagar in Ulhasnagar Camp No. 1, where Amruta Garad lived with her family. She was reportedly in a relationship with a young man from another caste who resided in the same neighbourhood. Her mother strongly opposed the relationship and had repeatedly tried to convince her to end it. However, Amruta remained firm in her decision. Police said that at around 1:30 am on Sunday night, a heated argument broke out between the mother and daughter while Amruta's father and two brothers were asleep in the house. Following the argument, Amruta was allegedly preparing to leave home with the young man. At that moment, Asha Garad allegedly used a scarf to strangle her daughter, resulting in her death on the spot. After the incident, Amruta's father approached Ulhasnagar Police Station No. 1 and informed the police about the incident. Police immediately reached the spot, conducted a panchnama, and sent the body to the Central Hospital, Ulhasnagar, for post-mortem examination. Based on the preliminary investigation, police registered a case against Asha Garad and arrested her. The incident, in which a mother allegedly killed her own daughter, has created widespread shock in the Ulhasnagar area. Further investigation is being carried out by officers of Ulhasnagar Police Station No. 1. While speaking to ‘The Perfect Voice’, Deputy Commissioner of Police Sachin Gore said that the 19-year-old woman's mother was opposed to her love marriage. Following an argument, the mother allegedly killed her daughter in a fit of rage. A case has been registered at Ulhasnagar Police Station No. 1, the accused woman has been arrested, and further investigation is in progress.

Sensex up 281 points as retail inflation drops to 6-year low in April

Equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty rebounded in early trade on Wednesday as retail inflation eased to a nearly six-year low of 3.16 per cent in April, creating enough room for the Reserve Bank to go for another round of rate cut in the June monetary policy review.

 

Also, a cooling US April inflation data added to the positive trend in the equity markets.

 

The 30-share BSE benchmark gauge Sensex climbed 281.43 points to 81,429.65 in early trade. The NSE Nifty went up by 96.65 points to 24,675.

 

From the Sensex firms, Tata Steel, Bharti Airtel, Eternal, Tech Mahindra, Infosys, Mahindra & Mahindra, Bajaj Finserv and Reliance Industries were the major gainers.

 

Telecom operator Bharti Airtel climbed over 2 per cent after it posted about a five-fold jump in consolidated net profit to Rs 11,022 crore in the March 2025 quarter, mainly due to the tariff hike impact and one-time gain on tax benefits.


 

However, Tata Motors, Asian Paints, Nestle and IndusInd Bank were among the laggards.

 

Tata Motors dipped over 1 per cent after the firm reported a 51 per cent decline in consolidated net profit to Rs 8,556 crore for the March quarter, hit by lower volumes and operating leverage.

 

"A strong tailwind for the Indian market is the sharp dip in April CPI inflation to 3.16 per cent. This leaves enough room for the MPC to cut rates thrice more in this cutting cycle. This is positive for the market in general and rate sensitives in particular," VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited, said.

 

Retail inflation eased to a nearly six-year low of 3.16 per cent in April mainly due to subdued prices of vegetables, fruits, pulses, and other protein-rich items, creating enough room for the Reserve Bank to go for another round of rate cut in the June monetary policy review.

 

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) based inflation was 3.34 per cent in March and 4.83 per cent in April 2024. It was 3.15 per cent in July 2019.

 

"These developments (India, US inflation data) are likely to boost investor sentiment. In addition, easing trade tensions between the US and China, as well as a reduction in geopolitical frictions between India and Pakistan, are supportive of a favorable market environment," Vikas Jain, Head of Research at Reliance Securities, said in his pre-open market quote.

 

In Asian markets, South Korea's Kospi, Shanghai's SSE Composite index and Hong Kong's Hang Seng were trading higher while Japan's Nikkei 225 index quoted lower.

 

US markets ended mostly higher on Tuesday.

 

Global oil benchmark Brent crude dipped 0.57 per cent to USD 66.25 a barrel.

 

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 476.86 crore on Tuesday, according to exchange data.

 

On Tuesday, the Sensex tanked 1,281.68 points or 1.55 per cent to settle at 81,148.22. The broader Nifty of NSE dropped 346.35 points or 1.39 per cent to 24,578.35.
