Breakthrough in the InvestigationAddressing a press conference on Saturday, Thane District Superintendent of Police Vinaykumar Rathod said a missing persons complaint had previously been lodged by Alis wife with the Sakinaka police station on May 25.Two days later - on May 27 - the highly decomposed body of an unidentified man bearing multiple stab wounds was found in an isolated field next to an open plot within the limits of Dahagaon under the jurisdiction of the Vasind police station in Thane district, he said.A case was then registered under sections 103(1) (murder) and 238 (causing disappearance of evidence) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) against unidentified persons.Key Clues and ArrestsThere was no CCTV camera placed around the isolated crime scene, making it a completely blind case initially.

However, a breakthrough was achieved when the victims wife identified a pair of slippers and clothes found near the decomposed body to be Alis, Rathod said.Technical analysis and intelligence gathering quickly shifted the suspicion toward Syed Hassan Syed Mehbub Badshah (38), a resident of Mumbra in Thane, who was engaged as a zari worker (specialising in weaving and embroidering fine metallic threads into fabrics), and his associate Sameer Abdul Karim Kalyankar (43), a resident of Mahim in Mumbai. Both were subsequently taken into custody, he added.Motive Behind the MurderTheir sustained interrogation brought to light that Ali had lent Rs 3 lakh to Badshah. As the accused failed to repay the loan, the victim continuously demanded his money back. Fed up with his constant pestering, Badshah hatched a plan with Kalyankar to eliminate Ali, the official said.Acting as per their plan, the accused duo lured the victim to the isolated location in Dahagaon in Vasind, where they tied his limbs and eyes before stabbing him to death, Rathod said.The Significance of the Tying MethodConsidering the fact that the victims eyes, hands, and legs were tied tightly with cloth provided a vital clue to the police that the murder was the handiwork of someone deeply accustomed to fabric and garment work, which eventually turned out to be completely true, he noted.The crime branch carried out an investigation into the case.Disclaimer: News content is sourced from the stated source.
