The Shahapur police and the five accused who were arrested
The Thane Rural police have busted a gang that used king cobras to murder its victims. During an investigation with regard to a decomposed corpse that was discovered in a field, the Shahapur cops found that though the deceased’s throat was slit, he had been exposed to a serpent. The man had lent R16 lakh to one of the accused. After arresting the alleged culprits, the cops learnt that the gang of six had also borrowed Rs 25 lakh from a person in Padgha and killed him in a similar manner but made it look seem like a road accident. The main conspirator is still at large.
On June 4, Kalyan East resident Deva Naidu, 22, registered a missing person complaint at Kolsewadi police station after his father Gopal, 62, was nowhere to be found. According to Deva, his father, a retired ticket checker, left their house around 9 am on June 3. On June 11, a corpse was found in the field of one Arun Farde at Dhasai village, which is within the jurisdiction of the Shahapur police. The Kolsewadi cops asked Naidu’s family to examine the body, which they did on June 12.
