Commissioner of Police K K Pathak announced the arrests of Shekhar alias Gulnawaj Khan (25) and his associate Shiva Murlimanohar Baijankiwar (22). He addressed a press conference on Wednesday.
The motive behind shooting of Diyewar, who was Vice-President of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), was territorial dispute over property dealings and other illegal trades between former and Shekhu, said the sources. Shiva is reported to be pursuing his Bachelors Degree in Commerce faculty from one of the colleges in Hingna. His admission was done by Shekhu and since then the two were knowing each other.

On Sunday night, two persons gunned down Diyewar in full public view at Shankar Nagar Square. Investigations began in right earnest and Ambazari police went into background of the property dealers recent dealing and fights. The name of Shekhu Khan propped-up when efforts to reach him failed the suspicion strengthened. Further, sources said, during scouting of murder spot cops had come across an abandoned motorcycle near HDFC bank that provided them the first clue.
After the arrest of Shekhu Khan and Shiva from Jagnade Square, the cops quizzed him about the case. While confessing to crime, Shekhu claimed Diyewar was after his life and latter had also made inroads into his territory, Gittikhadan. Since then the once friends were now at loggerheads and Diyewar’s growing stature meant Shekhu was fast loosing ground.
Meanwhile, police investigation revealed that the two wheeler belonged to a friend of Shiva. And when police reached Shiva’s place they could not locate him and got to know his connections with Shekhu. The DB squad of Ambazari police reached Shekhu’s place in Jaffar Nagar but he was reportedly absconding. Police Inspector Anil Katkade was coordinating the investigation.
Since last three-days the police team raided many places to trace Shekhu Khan. Finally, a big name in the property dealing meditated and then Shekhu Khan and his associate turned themselves in, the sources claimed. Though police are firm on their theory of having nabbed the two from busy Jagnade Square.
Rebuilding the case, Shekhu Khan told his interrogators that on Sunday they were keeping watch on Diyewar. They were after the bulky Diyewar as they had hatched a plan to eliminate him. When Diyewar left Subhash Nagar the two were chasing him on their mobike. On reaching Shankar Nagar, around 9 pm, Shekhu Khan and Shiva approached Diyewar from behind and fire at him from point blank range. Shiva also allegedly attacked Diyewar with a sickle.
Ruling out use of sophisticated weapon, the sources said Shekhu had used a desi katta and same was seized.
Joint Commissioner of Police, Snajay Saxena, Additional Commissioner of Police (South Region) Anant Shinde, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Zone-I, Kailash Kanse, DCP, Crime Branch, Sunil Kolhe, were also present at the press conference.
