The grandfather of the deceased Chandrakant Chitkote said that they believe Kanhiya Chaugule, known as Kanu, as the prime suspect of the case as they had come to the house on Thursday evening and demanded Rs 2,000 and other valuables as a baby girl was born in the house.

“We did not give Kanu any money and asked her to come on the day of the toddler’s naming ceremony, due to which there was a verbal argument between them. Kanu then made threats and left," he added.

Soon after the registration of the case, Kanu surrendered at the police station and also named an accomplice who helped in the killing.

Having met Sonu right after the mentioned verbal spat, Kanu told him that they were upset because of being refused to pay money. They then decided to teach them a lesson, as per the police. The deceased girl's body was recovered at 1 pm and sent to JJ Hospital for post-mortem to ascertain whether the toddler was raped before she was killed.
