28-yr-old murdered over unpaid debt of Rs10k
Wardha: Nine days after body of a youngster was recovered from Wardha river near Kharda village, police investigation revealed that the 28-year-old was murdered over an unpaid debt of Rs10,000.
Seven persons have been booked for the murder under relevant sections at the Deoli police station. Three of the accused have been arrested so far.
Police said the victim, Gopal alias Golu Dhanraj Kumbhare (28), a resident of Tamba (Yende), had reportedly borrowed Rs10,000 from Anup alias Guddu Dabekar, pledging a motorcycle he had borrowed from Amol Salame of Neri Punarvasan. When Salame demanded his motorcycle back, Gopal failed to return it.
Salame filed a complaint at Sawangi police station.
Police recovered the vehicle, which allegedly enraged Dabekar's anger as the money he lad lent to Gopal got stuck.
On May 7, Gopal left for some work with Guddu Dabekar but didn't return home. On May 10, his body was discovered in the Wardha riverbed. What initially seemed like a drowning incident soon turned into a murder investigation as inconsistencies emerged during questioning.
