The mastermind behind Guru Waghmare’s murder, Santosh Sherekar, owner of the Soft Touch Spa, allegedly paid a contract of R12 lakh to the two accused. Of this amount, R6 lakh each was distributed among the two killers. The Worli police will investigate whether Waghmare’s girlfriend, Mary Joseph, was promised any money after the killing of the city’s Ghajini. The police have recovered Rs 9,81,500 from the duo. Sherekar had approached Firoz and Saqib Ansari as “contract killers”.

Sherekar had approached Firoz and Saqib Ansari as “contract killers.” He reportedly told the duo, “Waghmare ka game bajana hai,” and made an advance payment of Rs 2 lakh to Firoz. Firoz then contacted Saqib and, with Mary’s help, they tracked Waghmare’s daily activities for over 10 days. “We are interrogating Sherekar and Mary; however, they have not confessed whether Mary was paid to commit the crime. We suspect that Mary might have been offered some money after the crime was committed,” said the police officer.
