Mumbai: The Mahim police have arrested two people from Nagpur in the murder case of a 21-year-old man whose dead body was found near Mahim beach recently. The Mahim police found a railway ticket from the pocket of the deceased which helped them with a clue to crack the case. As the girl complainant was misleading the police team.
In the wee hours of Wednesday, the dead body of Waseem Chaudhary 21, was found near Mahim Chowpatty. "While the girl took a taxi to get herself admitted at Bhaba hospital in Bandra, she had injuries on her neck and hands the doctors informed the police. The girl in her statement to the police said she met Waseem and they were seating near the Chowpatty. Then two people came and attacked them with a sharp knife. Accordingly, a case was registered and investigation was started," said a police officer.
On the complaint of a 19-year-old girl the police registered a case under section 302 (punishment for murder), 307 (attempt to murder) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian penal code.
"The investigation team found a railway ticket in the pocket of the deceased. There were two tickets of Govandi to Mahim. Scrutinizing the footage the team found the girl along with Waseem and two others boarded a train from Govandi to reach Wadala and then to Mahim. They were clearly seen in the CCTV footage. After reaching Mahim they went to the shrine to take the blessing and then went near the Chowpatty. The frequent changing statement of the girl and walking freely at the Chowpatty alerted the police about some conspiracy," said a police officer.
