A fast-track court on Thursday awarded double lifer to three persons and two for life after holding them guilty of a gruesome murder of a youth. Other two accused including a woman was sentenced for seven years of imprisonment.
Ad-hoc Additional Sessions Judge P P Pande convicted Giri Ashok Dasarwar (24), a resident of 222, Vyankatesh Nagar, Nandanvan; Jagdish Vitthal Bhosurkar (28), a resident of Garoba Maidan; Rahul Raju Kalamkar (24), a worker at Snooker parlour and a resident of plot no 265, Ganesh Nagar; Amol Krishna Lanjewar (19), a resident of Nehru nagar; Palash Sanjay Suryawanshi (18), a resident of Garoba Maidan to life imprisonment after finding them guilty of murdering Dinesh Prabhakar Bukkawan (29), a resident of Bhandara, who had gone missing and later his dead body was discovered in a plastic drum at home of Dasarwar at Vyankatesh Nagar after 37 days in 2011. The court also sentenced Manoj Ashok Dasarwar (29), his mother Kusum (55) to seven years imprisonment for destroying evidence of the murder.
Earlier, Nandanvan police had registered the case of missing and after discovering the body, cops had registered the case under sections 302, 201, 120 (B), 109, 34 of Indian Penal Code (IPC).
The prosecution led by Varsha Saikhedkar have submitted a near water-proof case before the court producing Call Data Records (CDR) and examining 20 witnesses.
The prosecution also claimed that this was rarest of rare case and demanded death penalty for the accused. The prosecution said that the accused had committed heinous crime with criminal conspiracy. The prosecution also proved chain of incidence and motive before the court.
According to prosecution Bukkawan owned a Snookers pool parlour at Vyankatesh Nagar. Due to the police raids and the orders to ban all pool parlours in the city then, Bukkawn had closed the parlour. Dasarwar and Kosurkar would want to get the possession of the pool parlour. Police investigation showed that many times Daswar and Kosurkar had tried to convince Bukkwan for the proposal. When Bukkawan refused to pay any heed, the duo planned his murder with Kalamkar, Suryavanshi and Lanjewar. Dasarwar had kept his body in the drum for 37 days at his room. Manoj and Kusum were aware of the body but didn’t informed police.
Defence lawyer said that as the accused are quite young, they deserve leniency.
Cops had initially taken Dasarwar in custody but, didn't find any susceptive. Brother in law of Dinesh, Anil Ambade and his brother started searching for Dinesh and suddenly appeared at house of Dasarwar on December 16, 2011 at 10 pm.
They were stunned after semi-decomposed body of Dinesh was found in a plastic drum. Bukkawan's body was found stuffed in the drum that was half-filled with water. The prosecution examined 26 witnesses and most of them deposed against the accused and withstood volley of questions from defence lawyers.
Advocates Ashok Bhangade, Chetan Thakur, Dixit and Patwardhan were defence lawyer. Adv Sarang Kotwal assisted the prosecution.

By
IGP Mallikarjuna Prasanna By Dheeraj Fartode  Published on Feb/17/2019 NOT many are aware of an episode during the then US President Barack Obama’s visit to India in 2010. The world’s most powerful man was made to wait for 11 minutes in his car while an Indian cop took on American officials for their unwarranted interference in the US President’s security. KM Mallikarjuna Prasanna, Special Inspector General of Police of Nagpur Range, still continues to work with the same pride, wearing his patriotism on the sleeve. “Had they (Americans) deployed their personnel for area security, then the message would have been Indians are unable to protect VIPs in their nation,” recounted Prasanna on the episode that is one of the highlights of his distinguished career of a skillful investigator. The story of the IPS officer of 2000 batch is worth a film. In fact, a movie (Nagarjun-starrer ‘Officer’) has already been made by Ram Gopal Verma last year. His real life script als...
