According to the police, the incident came to light when an unidentified dead body was found burning at the Tawashi crematorium without any presence of relatives or friends. This raised suspicion, and nearby residents promptly informed the police. Acting on the seriousness of the situation, API Rajkumar Dunage of Walchandnagar Police Station reached the spot for inspection with his team.
At the spot, the police found that a significant amount of blood was spilt just 40 feet away from the burning pyre at the crematorium. However, it was initially difficult to determine whether the burning remains were of a human or an animal.
In a joint investigation by the local crime branch and the Walchandnagar Police, it was discovered that the wood used for the burning pyre was brought from Phaltan. With the help of technical analysis, further investigation revealed that both accused, Harihar and Khilare, had purchased the wood for a funeral. Following this clue, the police arrested both of them.
During the interrogation, Harihar confessed to the crime. Speaking to the media, Dunage said, 'Harihar suspected that his maternal uncle, Haribhau Dhuraji Jagtap (74), was looking at his wife lustfully and trying to flirt with her. To take revenge, Harihar and his friend Khilare made a plan to kill Jagtap. Harihar accompanied Jagtap for lunch on November 15. Near the Tawashi crematorium, the accused attacked Jagtap with wooden sticks and killed him. To hide the evidence, they burnt him at the crematorium. A gold chain of the deceased was recovered from accused Harihar, which aided in solving the case.'
Accordingly, a case has been registered under sections 103(1), 69(2), 238, 3(5) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at Walchandnagar Police Station.
