Maharashtra Police have arrested Balaji Rathod, an alleged alcoholic from Bhima Tanda village in Latur district’s Udgir taluka, on charges of murdering his four-year-old daughter Aarushi. Investigators say Rathod strangled the child with a saree on Sunday, 29 June, after she asked him for money to buy chocolate. An FIR based on a complaint by Rathod’s estranged wife, Varsha, led to the arrest. Police cited frequent domestic quarrels linked to Rathod’s drinking habit and said further investigation is under way. Varsha Rathod has publicly called for capital punishment.
