Murder Mystery Unfolds in Navi Mumbai: Land Deal Gone Wrong Suspected
Real Estate Mumbai:Even after four days, the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Aamir Khanzada, 40, NCP president of south Raigad, and the murder of Sumit Jain, 35, remains unsolved. Jain's body, with bullet and stab injuries, was found in the bushes of Gogada village along the Pen-Khopoli road on Friday.

The police investigation has led to suspicions that a land deal gone wrong could be the motive behind the murder. However, the theories are yet to be confirmed. On August 21, the duo had left their homes in Nerul around 11 pm, saying they were going for a meeting with a 'VIP'. Khanzada's phone is switched off, while Jain's phone is also missing.

A case of Jain's murder has been registered with the Nerul police, and a total of 12 teams, including seven from the crime branch, are probing the matter. Both Jain and Khanzada, real estate agents, knew each other for a few years. They were residents of Nerul sector 4 and 27, respectively. For the last week, they had been going to such late-night meetings.

However, they didn't return after they left on Wednesday night. On Thursday, a missing persons complaint was lodged, and Khanzada's car, in which they travelled, was found near Food mall, Khalapur, at the Mumbai-Pune expressway. The vehicle had a bullet mark on the rear side, and two bullet shells were found inside with blood stains.

The police are backtracking the car's journey with the help of CCTV footage. As the investigation unfolds, the police are working to piece together the events of that fateful night.

The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) is a political party in India. The party was formed in 1999 by Sharad Pawar, P.A. Sangma, and Tariq Anwar after they split from the Indian National Congress.
