Baburao was under ₹50 lakh debt, and the bank had even issued a house auction notice. Vanita and Tejas tried to convince Baburao to commit suicide so they could claim ₹1 crore from his insurance policy, but when he refused, they decided to kill him.
Are Women More Involved in Crimes Now?
These incidents raise an important question—are women becoming more involved in crimes, particularly murders?
-
In all these cases, personal motives like extramarital affairs, financial greed, and relationship conflicts led to brutal killings.
-
While traditionally men are seen as more violent offenders, these cases show that women, too, can resort to extreme measures when driven by circumstances.
-
The role of planning and manipulation in these crimes suggests that these were not impulsive acts but cold-blooded murders.
With such crimes on the rise, authorities are now examining social and psychological factors that might be influencing these disturbing trends.
