Recovery of Evidence in Satara

The investigation commenced after local residents discovered a partially burnt body inside a well near Sukhed, a village situated in the Lonand area of Satara. Upon being alerted, the Satara police coordinated with forensic teams to secure the site and recover the remains.

Initial forensic examinations suggested that an attempt had been made to incinerate the body to prevent identification. Local authorities quickly shifted the focus of the probe toward missing person reports and technical surveillance data from the surrounding highway network.

Technical Investigation Leads to Arrest

The breakthrough in the case came through a combination of technical analysis and CCTV footage. Investigators tracked the movement of the constable's vehicle along the 191-kilometre route, linking his presence to the disposal site in Satara.

The Navi Mumbai police confirmed that the accused constable was taken into custody following the gathering of circumstantial and technical evidence. Preliminary questioning indicates that the motive for the crime was a suspected extramarital relationship involving the victim and the officer's wife.

Legal Proceedings and Background

The accused has been charged under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for murder and the destruction of evidence. Police officials stated that the investigation is currently ongoing to determine if any other individuals assisted the constable in transporting the body or executing the crime. Delhi Shocker: 32-Year-Old Birju Kumar Rai Dies After Falling Into Open Drain Near Mahashakti Kali Temple in Rohini; Police Launch Probe (Watch Video).
