Maharashtra Woman Alleges Cops Abetted Lover’s Murder After Marrying His Corpse
Aanchal Mamidwar claims two Itwara police officers provoked the murder of her lover, Saksham Tate, amid caste tensions after she reportedly married him posthumously.
In Nanded, Maharashtra, 21-year-old Aanchal Mamidwar drew national attention after she 'married' her boyfriend Saksham Tate following his murder. The case, seen as a deadly fallout of caste tensions, has now taken a new turn as Aanchal publicly accuses two officers from Itwara police station of abetting the killing. Tate, 20, was killed during a confrontation with Aanchal's brother in Nanded's old Ganj area.
Police say the remarks about cops are allegations and the case is under investigation. According to investigators, Aanchal's two brothers, Himesh and Sahil, and their father Gajanan Mamidwar have been arrested for Tate's murder. Aanchal says her brother Himesh took her to the police station to press 'fake' complaints against Tate, but she refused. She claims that the officers escalated the situation by telling him to kill Tate rather than file charges, a remark she says they made to her brother.
She described that her relationship with Tate spanned about three years and that the motive behind the killing was linked to caste differences. Aanchal had described the 'marriage' by applying sindoor to Tate's body, saying she did it to keep their love alive after death. The incident has sparked a debate about caste-based violence and the responsibilities of law enforcement in vulnerable communities.
Authorities have not publicly confirmed the specific police allegations; they say the investigation is ongoing. The case has drawn widespread attention on social media, with calls for a fair probe and accountability if any misconduct is proven. The community awaits fresh updates as investigators piece together the sequence of events that led to Tate's death and Aanchal's controversial act.
