In a shocking incident stemming from a financial quarrel, the Bhosari police in Pune have apprehended a 26-year-old man for the alleged murder of a 40-year-old worker. The arrest was made on Monday, bringing a swift end to the manhunt for the accused.
Arrest Made in Bhosari Murder Case
The police have identified the arrested individual as Vishnu Prajapati, who currently lives in Shantinagar, Bhosari, and hails originally from Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh. He was taken into custody from Mumbai, preventing his potential escape from the state. The victim has been named as Deepak Kumar Prajapati, a 40-year-old man who worked for a private company in the Indrayaninagar area and resided in Shantinagar, Bhosari, with his wife and three children.
Dispute Over Money Led to Fatal Altercation
According to officers from the Dehu Road police, the murder was a direct result of a dispute over money between the two men. Preliminary investigations indicate that Deepak Kumar had borrowed money from Vishnu. The duo had engaged in a heated argument regarding the repayment of this loan just a few days prior to the tragic event.
The situation reached its fatal climax on Sunday. Deepak Kumar had left for work but never returned home. He later met the accused, Vishnu Prajapati, in the isolated Bailgada Ghat area of Bhosari. There, the argument over the borrowed money reignited. In a violent turn, the accused allegedly used a hacksaw blade to slit the victim's throat before fleeing the scene.
Swift Police Action and Investigation
The body of Deepak Kumar Prajapati was discovered in the Bailgada Ghat area on Monday morning, prompting the immediate launch of a police investigation. Acting on gathered intelligence, the Bhosari police team successfully tracked down and arrested Vishnu Prajapati from Mumbai before he could leave the state. The quick action highlights the police's focus on resolving the case promptly.
The incident has sent ripples through the local community in Bhosari, underscoring the tragic consequences that personal financial disputes can sometimes lead to. The police continue their investigation to piece together the final sequence of events.
