Rajesh Daware and Arvind Singh had a plan to kill Yug after abduction as Yug could have easily identified them and obviously there were no chances for Yug to survive his abductors. As per their nefarious designs, they were to demand ransom of Rs five crore and ask Dr Chandak to come at Kanhan with the money. They had planned to board in a North bound train and show Yug’s t-shirt when the train would start moving. They had decided to collect money in a running train and flee from the state. It means that they had decided to escape with the money without actually handing-over Yug back to his parents.
The accused had decided to open a wine shop and construct a home by the money. The accused had a criminal mindset and no remorse was visible during entire trial period and even when they were held guilty by the court. Interestingly, the accused gained the weight during their jail term.
Revenge of a ‘slap’
Accused Rajesh Daware, an ex-employee of Dr Chandak, had decided to take revenge of Dr Chandak’s slap. In month of July, 2014, Yug was playing Video game at the clinic and Rajesh had slapped him for playing the game. When Yug narrated the incidnet to Dr Chandak, he slapped him and warned Daware. That was the day when Daware decided to take revenge of this humiliation.
In another incident, a patient informed Dr Chandak that Daware was collecting excessive hospital fees defying the dentist’s directive and fleecing paritnts. When Dr Chandak questioned him, Daware denied the allegations and never reported back to work when Dr Chandak warned that he would verify the facts in presence of the patient.

Yug’s murder was second plan
To gain the money, Rajesh, Arvind, both students of PWS college had also decided to rob a manager of a renowned company. The accused met their friend, who was working in the company and gained his confidence for the robbery. They asked the youth for a tip about exact movements of the manager and particularly whenever he travels with cash in the last week of August 2014.
