Indore: Jhabua police have arrested a man for killing his friend, whose body was discovered near Bamanjhiri turning in Petlawad area last week.
Victim Identified
The deceased has been identified as Shantu Pargi, a resident of Chanwarapada village. He went missing on May 17. His brother, Ishwar Pargi, filed a missing complaint after multiple searches failed to locate him. The following day, Shantu's body was recovered from Bamanjhiri area with severe injuries to his face.
Investigation and Arrest
Following the postmortem examination report, Petlawad police registered a murder case. During the investigation, police learned that the deceased was last seen with his friend Dinesh alias Ditiya Mori, also a resident of Chanwarapada. Liquor bottles, a water bottle, and other material evidence recovered from the scene strengthened suspicion against Dinesh.
Acting on a tip-off, police arrested Dinesh on May 23. During questioning, he confessed that he was upset because the victim used to visit his house in his absence. Nursing a grudge over this, he allegedly took Shantu to an isolated spot on the pretext of a liquor party and killed him on the spot.
