Court Decision Summary The Additional Sessions Judge convicted Bhagwan Shahurao Thorat under Section 302 IPC (murder) for killing his 22-year-old wife Aarti with an axe on February 7, 2023, based on circumstantial evidence including his presence at the police station with blood-stained clothes, the murder weapon found at the scene, and his history of suspecting her character. He was sentenced to life imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 10,000. The court acquitted him of dowry death charges (Section 498-A), finding insufficient evidence of cruelty or harassment for dowry before the homicide.
