Police on Sunday arrested a 23-year-old man for allegedly killing a fisherman at Girgaon Chowpatty last month. The accused had allegedly killed the victim on June 20 by smashing his head with a stone, claiming that the deceased had verbally abused him.
The DB Marg police claimed that the accused has confessed to another murder, allegedly committed by him in a similar manner in Goa in March. He had escaped to Mumbai after the previous offence, the police claimed.
According to police officials, the arrested person has been identified as Suraj Yadav. He was arrested from Hill road in Bandra.
Police said that the deceased, Gajannan Pawar, was at Girgaon Chowpatty for work on June 20 when Yadav allegedly killed him with a stone following an argument between the duo around midnight. The patrolling team of DB Marg police station spotted Pawar lying on the spot with injuries and rushed him to hospital where he was declared dead on arrival.
“We found some document on him through which Pawar was identified and subsequently, we contacted his family and informed them about the incident,” said an officer. Pawar’s son, Manohar, identified him at the hospital.
The police registered a case of murder and started a manhunt for the accused.
“We found a wallet at the spot, which we suspected belonged to Yadav. His wallet contained his Aadhar card and a SIM card,” said a police official. During the course of investigation, the police also started checking CCTV footage, which showed the victim and the accused talking at midnight on June 20.
An investigator said, “Soon after, at 1.24am, the footage showed that he (Yadav) picked up a concrete stone and walked up to him (Pawar). He then smashed his head against it.”
