Palghar, Nov 9 (PTI) Three persons were arrested in Palghar’s Dahanu taluka for allegedly murdering a 24-year-old man, a police official said on Monday.
Nitin Chandu Pagi, a resident of Jambugaon Muhapada, was found dead on November 1 with severe facial injuries, bleeding from the nose and mouth, and broken teeth. An accidental death report was registered at first at Gholvad police station, which was then converted into a murder case, the official said.
Three persons have been arrested in the case, Superintendent of Police Yatish Deshmukh said.
He identified them as Antesh Madan Vartha (20), a resident of Jambugaon Muhapada, Amol Sundar Dandekar (20) and Aniruddh Anil Dodka (21), both from Jalwai Dandekar Pada.
“The victim’s brother and prime accused Vartha had a quarrel over certain issues at a marriage function one year back, during which the victim was also present. Pagi was bludgeoned to death due to this old enmity,” Gholvad police station assistant inspector Sandeep Kahale said.
The accused were caught after a vehicle used by them to transport the body was spotted in the locality a few days back, he added. PTI COR BNM
