Kunal Devastated Over Payment Of iPhone EMIs

Kunal climbed to the edge of a hill in anger on Friday following a dispute with his 48-year-old father, Murlidhar Chandgude, over an iPhone EMI.

A resident of the Devlai area in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Kunal had recently purchased an iPhone but was unable to pay the monthly installments. He was demanding money from his family. When they refused, he got into a heated argument with his father. Around 10:00 AM, Kunal left home, climbed the Khavalya hill in the Tisgaon area, and threatened to die by suicide.
