Additional Commissioner of Police ( western region) Vishwas Nangre- Patil has said that 15 separate FIRs will be registered against each accused in the Ansh Agarwal murder case. This is in order to help justify

charges against each of the accused. Medical reports claimed that Anshs death was caused due to head injuries rendered by a blow on his head by a paver block by the main accused Venkatesh Kiran Masurkar ( 19).

Patil said that this similar procedure was even followed in the Keenan Santos and Reuben Fernandez case where separate FIRs were registered against the accused.

The 9 other accused out of the 15 have been identified as Santosh Baburao Fullare ( 23), Anand Kumar Bahadursingh ( 22), Rohan Mohite ( 21), Prashant Eatwadker ( 22), Gaus Salil Shaikh ( 22), Sujit Jaiswal ( 19), Dinesh Kumar Gupta ( 18) Shivkumar Ghosalkar ( 48) and Sonu Radheshan Chauhan ( 19) ( remaining accused are minors).

Patil said, ” It is not necessary that all the accused had come with the intention to murder. They could have come with a mere motive of an assault. This is how we will investigate the motive of each and every accused.” Currently, the similar sections booked under the 15 accused are 302 for punishment for murder, 449 for house- trespass in order to commit offence punishable with death, 120 ( B) for punishment of criminal conspiracy, 143 for punishment, 147 for punishment for rioting, 148 rioting, armed with deadly weapon, 109 for punishment of abetment if the act abetted is committed in consequence, and where no express provision is made for its punishment and 34 acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention of the IPC and section 135 of the Bombay police act.
