A 21-year-old man has been accused of murdering a 17-year-old boy in Maharashtra’s Wardha district after an argument over an Instagram post. The incident occurred on Saturday in Pimpalgaon village, located in the Hinganghat area.
According to police, nearly a month ago, the victim, Himanshu Chimney, and the accused, Manav Jumnake, had posted a story on Instagram seeking votes. According to the cops, Himanshu got more votes than Manav, leading to a quarrel between them.
