A 30-year-old man in Pune, identified as Mahesh Gaikwad, is allegedly beaten to death by his father after demanding mutton during the Sawan period, according to police. The dispute reportedly starts when Mahesh tells his family he wants to eat mutton at home.

Police say a heated argument follows between the father and son over this demand. The outlets report that after the incident, police arrest the father and also arrest both parents in connection with the death. In addition, the mother is accused of helping destroy evidence after Mahesh’s death, as stated in the reporting.

While the core allegation is consistent across the accounts—an altercation over mutton during Sawan escalating into fatal violence—coverage focuses on different aspects of the investigation. One report emphasizes the immediate trigger for the conflict, while the other highlights arrests and the allegation involving evidence handling by the mother. The case remains under police investigation.
