In another incident, a teenager and his cousin bludgeoned 55-year-old Sumatlal Maraskolhe to death before tying the body to a post at an under-construction building site at Kalamna Gaon on Umrer Road on Saturday, within the limits of Kuhi police station. The teenagers were miffed after Maraskolhe made undue advances towards one’s mother, who was also working at the site. The mother-son duo was nabbed with the help of mobile tower locations
The Khapa murder raised fresh concerns about raging gang rivalries, use of firearms, and police intelligence network after the broad daylight shootout. Police said Niley and Gaghate had crime records. In 2018, Gaghate had assaulted Niley, leading to a case of attempted murder against him.
