On the evening of June 27, around 7:30 PM, Rajkumar returned home drunk. Enraged by his daily drinking habit, Ramkala confronted him and struck him with a stick taken from the cowshed. The blow caused a deep injury, which began to bleed profusely.

Despite the injury, Ramkala did not allow him inside the house and left him outside in the courtyard all night. Even the next day, she did not take him to the hospital for treatment. Rajkumar remained bedridden and unattended until he eventually passed away around 9 AM on June 30.

The case is being further investigated by Assistant Police Inspector Kishor Mavaskar.
