PUNE: The crime branch on Friday claimed to have made a the most important step forward in the Wadgaonsheri homicide case through recovering the country-made revolver that was once used on November 21 through Shivalal, alias Shivaji Babulal Rao, for firing at lady mess operator Ekta Bhati (38).
The revolver was once discovered — along with another country-made firearm, 8 live cartridges, 24 live rounds and blanks of various bores, a knife, a screw driving force, spanner and other subject material — in a backpack that Shivalal’s son, Mukesh alias Monty, had thrown out from a transferring teach between Phursungi and Loni Kalbhor while travelling up to Daund the place he was once in the end arrested.
“The backpack was once discovered along the railway tracks, some 3.5km ahead of the Manjri railway station,” assistant public prosecutor Waman Koli told judicial magistrate firstclass G K Nandanwar while transferring a file on behalf of the investigating officer, Raghunath Jadhav, for an extension of Shivalal and Mukesh’s remand in police custody.
The court extended the father-son duo’s police custody remand until December 5.
Lawyers Biju Aloor and Tosif C Shaikh, representing Shivalal and Mukesh, respectively, argued that the police remand file did not convey out any new truth or progress in the investigation and the two accused be sent to magisterial custody.
Apart from the two country-made firearms recovered from the backpack, the police had recovered a country-made revolver from Shivalal when he was once apprehended on the night of November 21 near Maldhakka Chowk after a dramatic chase that began from the Pune railway station the place he had shot at and injured crime branch inspector Gajanan Pawar.
The police file said that the 3 seized firearms had been positioned before Shivalal in the presence of 2 “pancha” witnesses and he was once requested which of those guns he had used for firing at Ekta. Shivalal recognized the smaller of the two firearms, recovered from the backpack, because the homicide weapon, the file said.
The file added that Shivalal was once in consistent contact with a Delhi lady, who had employed him for killing Ekta in a bid to terrorize the latter’s husband, Brijesh Bhati, who, the lady claims, owed her Rs63 lakh. He was once also involved with the Delhi lady’s sister, the file said.
Investigating officer Jadhav and prosecutor Koli submitted that the father-son duo’s custodial interrogation had ended in several new findings and an extension in their custody was once imperative for corroborating those findings through taking them to puts corresponding to Delhi, Kadapa in Andhra Pradesh and Shivalal’s local position in Rajasthan.
The police want to get better a written settlement Shivalal and the Delhi-based lady had entered into for the mode of fee of sum assured for the killing. For this, he needs to be taken to Delhi, the file said, adding that Shivalal had a meeting with the Delhi-based lady and her sister on October 9. He was once involved with the lady on her sister’s cellular phone, the file said.
