The four murderers of Nagpur businessman Rishi Khosla went to the holy city Shirdi after they brutally murdered him. DCP Zone 2 Vinita Sahu told Nation Next, “We arrested the culprits on Monday evening from Wadi. Prima facie evidence tells us that the culprits had gone to Shirdi after the murder. The investigation is currently on.”

Sadar Police arrested the history-sheeters on Sunday for murdering Khosla on August 21 near Gondwana Square. The men were hired by a goon named Girish Dasarwar on behalf of Micky alias Rupindeer Balveersingh Bakshi (54) to murder Khosla for a token amount of Rs 7,000. Sadar Police along with Dasarwar took Bakshi, who had promised more money after the murder, in custody on August 22.

The reason behind Khoslas murder is said to be his close relationship with Bakshis estranged wife Madhu Bakshi. It is being speculated by the cops that the assailants were instructed to eliminate Madhu as well along with Khosla. Luckily, Madhu was not with Khosla at the time of the attack. The police have now provided security to Madhu.

As per the police, culprits ? Rahul alias Baban Kalamkar (32), Kunal alias China Hemne (21), Arif Inayat Khan (21) and Aziz Ahmed alias Pangya Anis Ahmed (19) ? intercepted Khoslas car around midnight on August 21 when he was returning after seeing off Madhu at her residence near Kadbi Square.

While Aril and Rahul were in an auto rickshaw, Kunal and Aziz were on a bike. As the goons took out weapons to stop Khosla, passersby stopped to see the drama because, of which the goons did not attack Khosla. Later, as Khosla stopped his car near Gondwana Square and tried to run towards his house in Byramji Town, he was stopped by the goons and hacked to death.

As per the police, Bakshi had met Dasarwar when he was sent to jail in 2012 in the murder case of NCP leader Ganesh Mate. Dasarwar was in jail at that time for killing a pool parlour owner. Bakshi and Dasarwar had hatched the plan to eliminate Khosla and Madhu a few months back.

In a horrific incident, the dead body of a Nagpur businessman named Rishi Khosla (49), a resident of Byramji Town, was found at Gondwana Square in the city on late Wednesday night. Khoslas neck was reportedly slashed with a sharp edged weapon.

Sadar Police reached the spot as soon as it got the information about the dead body. PI Wankhede from Sadar Police Station told Nation Next that the investigation was in process.

Jaripatka Police had booked Khosla for molestation earlier this year in February along with two other men ? Ballu Kewalramani and Munna Dhole.
