Navi Mumbai, Feb 20: The Panvel City Police have solved the murder of a 40–45-year-old man found dead under the Nanasaheb Dharmadhikari Flyover within 12 hours, arresting a 39-year-old accused.
Accused arrested within 12 hours
The accused, identified as Sitaram Ramu Yadav alias ‘Bahubali,’ was taken into custody on the night of Wednesday from the Panvel area. He was later produced before a court, which remanded him to seven days of police custody.
According to police, the victim, Vijay, was found lying in a pool of blood beneath the flyover near Society Naka. Preliminary findings had indicated that he was brutally attacked on the head with a heavy object.
Argument turned fatal, say police
Under the guidance of Senior Police Inspector Nitin Thackeray, a team led by Police Inspector (Crime) Shakir Patel and Sub-Inspector Anant Parage launched an intensive probe.
During questioning, Yadav allegedly confessed that he had consumed alcohol and got into a minor argument with Vijay under the flyover. In a fit of rage, he reportedly picked up a stone and smashed it on Vijay’s head, killing him on the spot.
“With the help of footage and informers, we arrested the accused. The duo were labourers and knew each other. However, the full name and other details of the victim are still not known,” Senior Police Inspector Thackeray said.
Evidence seized, probe continues
Police have seized the stone used in the crime. A blood-stained part of a cement mixer machine and other clothing items recovered from the scene have also been collected as evidence.
