The Pydhonie police have contacted the Foreign Registration Office (FRO) to request details on the travel history of Jagpalpreet Singh, an NRI from Belgium, identified as the mastermind behind the murder of Arshad Ali Sadiq Ali Shaikh, a deaf and mute victim from Kalina. Police have determined that Singh’s insecurity over leading the deaf and mute community on an Instagram group was the primary motive behind the murder. They discovered that Singh had instructed the killers via video call, claiming that Shaikh had defamed their community.
On August 5, Shaikh, 33, was murdered by his friends Jay Pawan Chawda, 32, and Shivjeet Singh, 34, at a house in Pydhonie. They used a hammer and broken beer bottles to kill Shaikh and then packed his body into a suitcase. They intended to dispose of the body on an express train at Dadar platform 11 but were intercepted by the railway police before they could execute their plan.
