In a heartbreaking incident in Sangli, Maharashtra, a 17-year-old girl, Sadhna Bhonsle, was beaten to death by her father, Dhondiram Bhonsle, over her low scores in NEET practice tests. Sadhna, a Class 12 student who had excelled with 92.60% in her Class 10 board exams, was preparing for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) when the tragedy unfolded.

Enraged by her performance in mock tests, Dhondiram, a school principal, allegedly attacked his daughter with a stick, inflicting severe head injuries. Sadhna was rushed to Ushakal Hospital in Sangli but succumbed to her injuries on Friday before receiving treatment.

Following a complaint filed by Sadhna’s mother on June 22, Dhondiram was arrested and has reportedly confessed to the assault. He remains in police custody until June 24 as the investigation continues.
