Crime Patrol: Pune murder: Techie shoots dead his doctor wife at her clinic in Wakad (Episode 702, 703 on 27th, 28th Aug, 2016)




Police said Anjali used to run ‘Mother Care Clinic’ from a rented place near her residence.



A software engineer working with a prominent IT company allegedly shot dead his wife, a medical practitioner, at her clinic in Wakad on Wednesday night. The Wakad police arrested him around 2 am on Thursday. Police identified him as Manoj Patidar (40), who lives in a rented apartment in Ozone Spring Park in Wakad, and his wife as Anjali Manoj Patidar alias Anjali Chandanao (34). Her brother Amar Santram Chandanao (32), a software engineer residing in Lohegaon, lodged a complaint of murder at the Wakad police station.



Police said Anjali used to run ‘Mother Care Clinic’ from a rented place near her residence in Ozone Spring Park. A board on the clinic said she was an “obstetrician, gynaecologist and infertility specialist”. Police said she had married Manoj about five years ago and the couple have a two-year-old son, Prayag. The son was present in the clinic with her at the time of murder.



In his statement, Amar alleged Manoj had been harassing his wife and torturing her physically and mentally for the last two years over domestic disputes. He said Anjali needed money for her basic requirements as she was not earning enough from her clinic but Manoj would refuse to give her any. Hence, she used to borrow from Amar.



Amar said he received a call from Anjali for help around 8 pm on Wednesday. She told him Manoj was harassing her for the last three days. Amar told her that they should file a police complaint. Anjali then cut the call, saying she would call back in 10 minutes. But after sometime, a person called Amar on his cellphone, informing him that Anjali was lying in a pool of blood. Amar then rushed to the spot and found Anjali had been murdered.



Meanwhile, a person from a nearby shop who had seen Anjali in an injured state too informed the police. Police said Manoj had also called his mother, who was visiting him from Madhya Pradesh and who had gone out at that time for a family function, to tell her that he had killed Anjali. After receiving Manoj’s call, she informed the police control room. The Wakad police team launched searches and nabbed Manoj from his car in Narhe as he was trying to flee.



Police said Manoj shot his wife with a pistol around 9 pm. They said he did not have a gun licence and had purchased the pistol illegally about two years ago from Mohali. After the murder, he allegedly threw the pistol on a riverbed. Police had not recovered it till reports last came in.



Meanwhile, the Wakad police produced Manoj before a magistrate court in Pune. Police told the court that his custodial interrogation was needed to ascertain the motive. Also, a probe is on to find out from whom and how he procured the pistol and whether anybody helped him in the crime.



Anjali’s family claimed Manoj had married twice in the past and that both wives had died under mysterious circumstances. But police are yet to find the officials records of his past marriages. “As of now, we do not have any documents or evidence to confirm whether he was married in the past and that his former wives committed suicides,” said Assistant Police Inspector Machhindra Adling.



DCP (Crime) P R Patil said Manoj used a countrymade pistol for committing the murder. Police said Anjali was a native of Wardha, but was practising in Pune for some years, while Manoj was working in a senior position at TCS in Hinjewadi. Police said Manoj is a native of Madhya Pradesh and had been working in Pune for the past 12 years.

Double murder in Kanpur, cash, jewellery missing



The wife and daughter of a treasurer in Reserve Bank of India were murdered in their Awas Vikas Sector B residence in Hanspuram on Wednesday evening. The assailants had decamped with Rs 40,000 in cash and jewellery worth Rs 3 lakh.



Ram Murari Gupta, who had gone for work in the morning, discovered the bodies when he returned home.



The main gate was open. "Entering one room, I found the body of my daughter Chetna (30) on the ground, her hands were tied with a rope," he said. The body of his wife Manju (52) was in the other room. Both appeared to have been strangled with a black dupatta.



Gupta called up the police. Later, he discovered that the cash and jewellery were missing.



A case of murder and loot has been registered at the Naubasta police station. The police suspects the involvement of a person known to the family, but no arrest has been made yet.



Circle Officer, Govind Nagar, Prashant Kumar said Gupta and his family had been staying in the house for the last 10 years.



Gupta's son Vivek — employed with a private firm — had shifted to Ghaziabad after his marriage in November 2008. A dispute had begun in the family after the marriage. "His in-laws had been provoking him against us and so Vivek decided to stay away," said Gupta. The police raided the Gujjaini residence of Vivek's wife Mani, and questioned her family over the double murder.



The ASP (Kanpur West), Mohit Gupta, said: "Prima facie it appears that someone known to the family was involved."



Four teams have been formed to work on the case. "They have contacted the neighbours and other locals to collect information about the people present in the vicinity on Wednesday," he added.

Crime Patrol: Woman involved son to kill husband, held (Zeher, Episode 698 on 19th August, 2016)

The police claimed that the woman had developed illicit relations with someone.



To get rid of her husband Gurdev Singh, Ranjit Kaur, in her mid-40s who allegedly had an extra-marital affair, involved her 20-year-old son, who too had a girlfriend, in murdering her husband. An FIR in this context was lodged on October 5. The police have now arrested Kaur, her son Babbaljit Singh and his friend Sherjit Singh alias Shera of Dholewal village. One of their accomplices, Khau, is absconding. The mother-son duo had hired Shera and Khau for Rs 50,000 for killing Gurdev, who ran a fast food joint.



The police claimed that the woman had developed illicit relations with someone and Gurdev had come to know about it. He used to quarrel with her over the issue. Gurdev also used to abuse his son Babbaljit. He had a girlfriend and his father was aware of it. He also used to slam Babbaljit for wasting his time for girls.



Assistant Commissioner of Police (east) Gurjit Singh said the mother-son duo who were involved in their own affairs wanted to get rid of Gurdev. The woman hatched a conspiracy to kill her husband and involved her son in it.



Babbaljit Singh hired Sherjit Singh alias Shera and Khau for it and promised to give them Rs 50,000 for it. He paid Rs 10,000 to them as advance.



Following this, Kaur mixed sleeping pills in the food that they served to Gurdev in dinner on October 4. On the morning of October 5, Babbaljit along with his friend Sherjit and Khau strangled him with a piece of rope while he was still asleep and took the body towards Jandiala in their car. They threw the body on the roadside.



To give it a shape of loot, the accused threw Gurdev’s scooter on the spot and came back.

“After coming back, Babbaljit Singh filed a missing report about his father at Moti Nagar police station, and on October 6, the police recovered the body from Jandiali village. The police had initially filed a case of killing against unidentified accused and initiated an investigation,” said the ACP.



“The body was decomposed and there were no marks on it that indicated that he was murdered to be robbed. The police had got some clues and they started zeroing in on his son and wife. On Saturday, the police nabbed Ranjit Kaur, Babbaljit Singh and Shera and grilled them. The accused have confessed to their crime. Khau is still absconding and the police have initiated a manhunt for him,” said the ACP.

Crime Patrol: Victim's tattoos help solve Bagodara murder (Episode 699, 700 on 20th, 21st Aug, 2016)

Ahmedabad: In a case deserving kudos, Ahmedabad rural police have solved the rape-and-murder of a then unidentified 35-year-old woman by picking up leads from tattoos on her hand. Cops had little to go by except the tattooed words 'Alkha,' 'Hadakmayi,' 'Ma Kali,' and 'Jogni'. It took them eight whole months, but based just on these clues, they have solved the murder mystery, identified the victim and the offender, and secured a confession from the accused.



The investigation started on June 2 last year, when Bagodara police registered an accidental death case, after a woman's body was found in a room near a temple in Thaliya village on Bagodara-Bavla road. The victim was a woman in her late thirties and she was bludgeoned to death. The postmortem revealed that she was raped before the murder. There were no identity documents that could provide police with a starting point. "We started off with the tattoos on her right hand. She had also worn a copper bracelet, which locals told us, is associated with witch doctors (bhuva). We then started checking temples in the vicinity and mobile towers. After months of work, it led us to Bharatji Thakor, 26, a resident of Dhamasana near Kalol," said Nirlipt Rai, SP of Ahmedabad rural.



Thakor, who had a history of offences such as rape and sexual harassment, was lodged in Sabarmati Central Jail as an undertrial over rape charges in a separate incident. Police obtained his custody, and on questioning, he confessed to have committed the murder. The victim was identified as Alkha Thakor, 35, a resident of Pethapur. "Alkha, a mother of four children, fell in love with Bharatji and lived with him for three years. After a few months, Bharatji fell in love with another woman from Santej who was then 28 years' old. He started viewing Alkha as an obstruction and decided to do away with her. He took her for a ride on his bike, and killed her at the temple after a heated argument," said an investigator.

Crime Patrol: Rajkot man among three held for getting son killed (Episode 692 on 5th Aug, 2016)

City police on Thursday arrested a retired senior accountant for allegedly giving contract to kill his own son and also nabbed two others who carried out the alleged murder a day ago for money.



Dipesh Vasoya (33), a resident of Manhar Plot area here had gone missing since he went outside on Tuesday evening to meet a man who rang him up to inform that he had found the former’s lost mobile phone. But on Wednesday morning, Dipesh, elder son of Naran Vasoya (63), a retired senior accountant of Accountants General of Gujarat, was found dead in a ditch in Raiyadhar area.



Based on a tip-off, police intercepted one Mansukh Vadoliya and his nephew Ravi (23) in Gandhigram area while they were passing by there on their motor-bike on Thursday morning.



Police questioned them about two mobile phones they were carrying but they couldn’t give any satisfactory answer. On further probe, Ravi and Mansukh confessed that the two mobile phones belonged to Dipesh. The duo also claimed that it was Naran who had given them a contract to kill Dipesh.



Based on this information, Gandhigram-II police arrested elderly Naran later in the morning. Police said Dipesh was killed for multiple reasons.



“Dipesh would beat up his father often after quarrels. On the other hand, Naran suspected if Dipesh was his biological son. Naran had also purchased insurance policies in the name of his son and to claim the insurance is also one of the reasons the father gave contract to kill his son,” said city police commissioner Anupam Singh Gehlot.



Police said Naran was the key conspirator of his son’s murder. He contacted Mansukh, who had done masonry work of the former’s home, and offered Rs 5 lakh for bumping off Dipesh.

  2. They arrest the diesesed's wife Velsee and her ex-lover Suketu in this case.

  3. Dishit, 25, was found murdered in his home at posh Parle Point area on Monday night.




SURAT: The Surat police have solved the murder mystery of city based young textile mull owner on Thursday. Police have arrested the diesesed's wife and her ex-lover in this case. Dishit Jariwala, 25-year-old textile weaving unit owner, was found murdered in his home at posh Parle Point area on Monday night and jewellery worth over Rs 60,000 worn by his wife was looted.






According to the police, Dishit's wife Velsee had an affair with Suketu, but they could not marry due to social issues. Meanwhile, Velsee married to Dishit and Suketu also got married. Velsee and Suketu were in touch on social media. Suketu's marriage life was disturbed, while on the other hand, Velsee was also not satisfied with her marriage life. Finally, they decided to kill Darshit. They planned for the same. Velsee met Suketu on Monday morning and told him to kill Dishit at evening as there would be nobody at home except herself, her daughter and Dishit. Suketu came to Velsee's home after 9pm on Monday with his driver and killed Dishit. They tried their best to show the police that Dishit was killed by robbers. But after examination of the circumstances, cops suspected insider role in Dishit's murder.



The couple have one-year-old daughter.



Suketu, Velsee and Suketu's driver have been arrested by the police.



Earlier, police investigation into the murder of Dishit Jariwala, 25, had revealed that it was a planned attack by someone who knew the family well. Police was suspecting role of an insider in the attack on helpless Dishit and doubted it to be a case of robbery though attempts have been made by those involved to show it as a murder for loot incident.



Dishit lived at Sarjan Society bungalow with wife Velsee, one-year-old daughter Fiona, parents Hitesh and Falguni and brother Chitrang. His uncle Anil also lived in the same bungalow, but had a separate entrance. On Monday night when Dishit was murdered, he was with his wife and daughter at home while his parents had gone to Mauritius along with his uncle's family on a vacation.

During the day Velsee had gone to her parents' home in the city and Dishit went to pick her up in the evening. After having dinner there, they returned home. They stopped at a doctor's clinic at Parle Point on way and had arrived home at around 9.30pm.



Just before their arrival at home, some unidentified men came there in an auto-rickshaw that had a poster of Hills Nursery on its back side. After carrying out a reconnaissance, the auto-rickshaw returned at 9.45 pm when Dishit's car arrived. There were two men in the auto-rickshaw. The entire movement has been captured in the CCTV camera installed in a neighbouring bungalow.



The two men entered the house and put a knife on the neck of Dishit, as per the statement of Velsee. Police have found chili powder in parking, toilet of first floor and kitchen of the bungalow. Apart from the alleged robbery of jewellery of Velsee, no other valuables were looted from the house. The robbers did not take any jewellery that Dishit wore.



Later, the two men left in Dishit's silver coloured Honda Jazz car which they abandoned a kilometre away from the bungalow on Gaurav Path. Police recovered the vehicle later. The bungalow and the car were examined by experts from Forensic Science Laboratory.



Dishit and his family run textile weaving units on Ved Road and Rudarpura area of the city. Jariwala family is one of the reputed textile business families of Surat.
