A 38-year-old software engineer at Infosys, Shampa Pathak Pandey, lost her life after being run over by a speeding car in a residential complex parking area in Indore, Madhya Pradesh.
The incident occurred due to a dispute between the accused’s family and other residents over renting a penthouse on the online platform Airbnb.
The dispute escalated after residents allegedly switched off electricity to the penthouse, following which the owner, Kuldeep Chaudhary, cut power to other flats, triggering a confrontation.
Kuldeep Chaudhary's son, Mohit Chaudhary, arrived in a car and hit some people, including a domestic helper and Shampa Pandey, who succumbed to her injuries at Bombay hospital.
Police officials said that Mohit Chaudhary and his father have been arrested, and a case has been registered against them under relevant sections.
