A tragic mass suicide in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar has taken a dramatic turn after videos surfaced of the deceased mother, Sangita Chandgude, alleging mental harassment and property grabbing by relatives.
- Sangita Chandgude posted a video on YouTube just one day before the tragedy.
- The video alleges mental harassment and property disputes involving relatives.
- Police are investigating whether family conflict played a role alongside the initial iPhone dispute theory.
The investigation into the harrowing mass suicide of a family in Maharashtra's Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar has gained a significant new dimension. 48-year-old Sangita Chandgude, who died alongside her husband and 18-year-old son, had recorded videos that suggest a much deeper layer of domestic turmoil than initially reported.
In a video shared on YouTube just 24 hours before the incident, Sangita spoke philosophically about making sacrifices for those who value love. However, a more distressing video has since emerged, in which she explicitly accuses certain relatives, including her husband's sister, of orchestrating mental harassment to fracture her family and seize their property. She specifically alleged that these relatives were driving a wedge between her son, Kunal Chandgude, and his father, Murlidhar Chandgude.
Why This Matters
BozokMedia analysis shows that the emergence of these digital testimonials shifts the narrative from a simple impulsive act driven by a consumerist demand to a potential case of systemic family exploitation and psychological coercion.
The intersection of social media presence and personal tragedy provides investigators with a unique, unfiltered window into the victim's state of mind.
The tragedy unfolded on a Friday in the Waluj area. Initial police reports suggested that the immediate trigger was a dispute over Kunal's demand for a new iPhone. Murlidhar, a driver and the family's sole breadwinner, had refused the request due to financial constraints. This led a distraught Kunal to a hill in the Tisgaon area.
A frantic three-hour rescue operation involving villagers, police, and the fire brigade ended in catastrophe. As Murlidhar attempted to reach his son to calm him down, Kunal jumped from the cliff. In a desperate attempt to catch him, Murlidhar lost his balance and fell as well. Witnessing her husband and son plummet to their deaths, Sangita reportedly jumped from the same spot moments later.
The Waluj MIDC police are now meticulously examining the authenticity of Sangita's videos. They are working to reconcile the financial struggle and the iPhone dispute with the serious allegations of property-related mental harassment mentioned in her final recordings.
