Man accused of murdering ‘live-in partner' arrested in Mumbai after 11 months
Akola: Eleven months after a 26-year-old tattoo artist from Delhi was killed by her alleged live-in partner in Akola district, Murtizapur city police arrested the accused, identified as Chetan alias Kunal Mahadev Shringare, from Santacruz in Mumbai with the help of local police on Monday evening. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Police said the victim, identified as Shantikriya Prashant Kashyap (26), and the accused used to live in a rented room at Pratik Nagar in Murtizapur. The murder took place on the night of July 23, 2024, at their room. After committing the crime, Chetan fled the scene and remained untraceable. Despite extensive efforts, police remained clueless about Chetan's whereabouts. Investigators later traced his location using technical surveillance and tip-offs, eventually locating him in Santacruz, said police. "We had been tracking the accused for months. With support from Mumbai police, we were finally able to arrest him. During questioning he admitted to committing the crime," said an officer from the Murtizapur city police station, adding Chetan cited repeated verbal abuse by Shantikriya and a prior incident in Mumbai, where he was allegedly beaten up by her friends, as the trigger for the crime. As per police sources, Shantikriya and Chetan had met first on social media before developing a close relationship. Chetan, hailing from Harshul village in Yavatmal district, called her to Murtizapur town under the pretext of finding a job for her. The duo then started living together at the rented room. Chetan had taken Shantikriya to a local wine bar in Murtizapur to seek employment, but the bar owner refused to employ her. Chetan had earlier worked as a waiter at the same establishment, said sources. On the night of July 23, 2024, the two reportedly got into a heated argument. In a fit of rage, Chetan allegedly struck her on the head with a sharp weapon, leading to her death on the spot, said police. Chetan has been booked under relevant sections of BNC for murder and is currently in police custody.

'Water all around': Star defender flooded in as multiple codes, players affected
Several sporting competitions have been abandoned throughout the Hunter this weekend due to extreme wet weather while some teams playing on are likely to be without personnel due to flooding. Hunter rugby union and AFL Hunter Central Coast junior and senior competitions have been called off, along with Newcastle Hunter Rugby League, Hunter Junior Rugby League and the joint zones (Newcastle, Macquarie and Hunter Valley) interdistrict and miniroos soccer. However, at least two community soccer clubs have booked synthetic fields at Lake Macquarie Regional Football Facility to get some miniroos games played for their younger members. Some community soccer teams are yet to play a match after five weekends of competition. In NPL Northern NSW, defending men's champions and premiers Broadmeadow had a fifth successive match postponed on Friday night. Newcastle netball cancelled its Friday night programs and a representative carnival scheduled for National Park on Sunday but hoped to proceed with Saturday competition, weather pending. Waratah face a tough task in their attempt to secure a third straight victory in championship netball at 2.30pm. Waratah, on nine points and in a two-way tussle for fifth position with Junction, play fourth-placed Souths (11 points) after beating BNC (43-35) then Kotara South (37-29). Coach Dwight Graham said the challenge could become even bigger with both circle defenders - Melanie Coleman and Vivien Rendina - likely to be out. Rendina is unavailable while Coleman, the competition's back-to-back Most Valuable Player, was stranded by floodwaters near Raymond Terrace on Friday. "Mel Coleman, my captain and star defender who the last two year's running has won best player in the grade, is at the moment flooded in," Graham told the Newcastle Herald on Friday. "She's safe and on high ground but she can't get out. She lives northwest of Raymond Terrace. She sent me a video and there's water all around. She's well above it but they can't get out, so there's a fairly high chance that she may not play. "Last week we won the game but there were times where we struggled, and every time we did struggle a bit, she was the one who picked off a few intercepts and lifted the team again, so losing her would be a bit of an issue for us." In other round-six championship exchanges, unbeaten leaders Norths play last-placed Kotara South, West Leagues Balance battle BNC and Junction take on Nova. The Hunter Wildfires women's first-grade team could be without coach Joey de Dassel and a number of players, who are based on the Mid North Coast, when they challenge Parramatta at Eric Tweedale Stadium in Sydney's west on Saturday (4.50pm). Wildfires general manager Stuart Pinkerton said the women's first-grade team would draw on division-two players for their Chikarovski Cup showdown with the Two Blues in Sydney premier rugby union. The women's division-two game has been postponed. "We will have players who will be affected, but we're lucky to be able to draw from two teams now," Pinkerton told the Herald on Friday afternoon. "Some players have been advised not to travel because it's just not safe. "Joey is at Toormina. He's looked at flights and trying to get there is quite expensive at this late stage and the road is still closed, so he's unsure if he's arriving or not yet." Five NPL Men Northern NSW matches, including Broadmeadow's round-14 game against Lambton at Arthur Edden Oval on Friday night, were postponed. A decision on Sunday's fixture (4.30pm) between Weston and Newcastle Olympic at Weston Park is set to be made on Saturday. In NPL Women, two games should get on. The Friday night exchange between New Lambton and Adamstown (8pm) and Saturday's Lake Macquarie-Broadmeadow battle (6pm) were both being played on synthetic pitches at Lake Macquarie Regional Football Facility. Charlestown's match against Olympic at Lisle Carr Oval on Sunday (4pm) has been postponed. In Newcastle Rugby League, the Kurri Kurri v West and Macquarie v The Entrance fixtures have been postponed. Three games are still scheduled for Sunday. Maitland host Central Newcastle (3.15pm), Souths travel to Wyong (3pm) and Cessnock are home to Northern Hawks (3pm). Newcastle men's and women's hockey competition looked set to proceed. In women's action at Broadmeadow on Saturday, unbeaten leaders Oxfords play third-placed Souths (1.45pm) and Uni take on Norah Head (3pm). On the Central Coast, Gosford meet Tigers (3pm). In premier men on Sunday at Broadmeadow, undefeated Gosford battle fifth-placed Tigers (1pm) and fourth-placed Wests play last-placed Maitland (2.30pm). Junior boys hockey competition at Newcastle and Maitland on Friday night was cancelled. In Australian Ice Hockey League, the Newcastle Northstars have an away weekend double-header against Adelaide.
