The case was registered at Otur Police Station based on a complaint filed by Yuvraj Mukne (27), the accused's younger brother. Police have booked Babaji under Section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for murder.
According to police, Babaji's earlier marriage had ended after his wife left him due to personal differences.

Assistant Police Inspector Dnyaneshwar Bajgire of Otur Police Station said a heated argument allegedly broke out on Tuesday night. During the dispute, Babaji is suspected to have attacked his father and brother with a hard object. Both suffered fatal injuries and died on the spot.
