62-year-old woman killed by Granddaughter, boyfriend for money

MIDC police on Sunday claimed to have solved murder case of Vijaya Tiwalkar (62) by arresting four persons. Shockingly, the woman’s granddaughter and her boyfriend are the prime accused in the murder case.
The accused are identified as Nilesh Paunikar, Aarzoo Khan, Farid Ansari, Tajir Khan, granddaughter of Vijaya and her boyfriend. The girl and her boyfriend are juveniles, MIDC police claimed.
“Prima facie, six accused are involved in the murder case and the teenage granddaughter and her boyfriend are ones who planned and executed the murder for easy bucks,” claimed a police official. The girls have some psychological problems too. She left the house of her parents last year and was living with the boyfriend who is working in a manufacturing unit of wooden doors. She used to tell her boyfriend that her grandmother had lots of money and ornaments at her house.
As the duo were facing financial crunch to cope up with their financial needs, they decided to commit a theft in the house of Vijaya and roped in other accused in the crime. Before committing the crime, the girl shifted to the house of her grandmother last month in Saptak Nagar where she was living alone. The aged-woman thought that she would counsel her granddaughter and separate her from the boyfriend.
After living with the grandmother for 15-days, the girl again shifted to boyfriend’s house in the last week of April. While staying at the houe of grandmother, the girl did recce of the house to find exact locations of valuables and money. She returned to the house of grandmother on Wednesday at 11 pm.
When the aged-woman was in slumber, the girl opened the door of the house at around 1 am for the accused persons. Paunikar, Farid Ansari and Tajir Khan entered the house while her boyfriend and Arzoo Khan were waiting outside the house. The three along with the girls started searching for the valuables. Meanwhile, Vijaya woke up and was shocked after seeing youths in her two-room house. She raised an alarm and tried to push the youths from the house. Sensing trouble, one of the accused whisked out a knife and slit her throat. The woman collapsed on the ground in the pool of blood and died before she could get medical treatment.
Later, the accused fled the spot with the girl after collecting gold chain, cash and other valuables. The incident came to fore on Friday when a housemaid entered the house for regular work. MIDC police rushed to the spot and started investigations.
Using technical support, the police identified some suspects and zeroed in on them. As the accused are residents of Kalamna and Yashodhara Nagar areas, the police conducted operations in the slums and nabbed four accused till Sunday. The girl and her boyfriend are absconding.
A retired cook from SRPF, Vijaya was living alone at her two-room house. Her son is a constable in SRPF while two daughters are married and living in Pachpaoli area. The accused girl is the daughter of the youngest girl of the woman.
Under the guidance of Commissioner of Police (CP) Amitesh Kumar, Addl CP Dilip Zalke, DCP (Zone I) Vivek Masal, the arrest was made by Sr PI Yuvraj Hande, PI Dinesh Labde and teams of MIDC and Kalamna police stations.
 

Accused mislead Crime Branch officials
 

One of the accused was in contact with the Crime Branch officials. Aarzoo Khan misled the police on pretext of helping them in detection of the case, it was learnt. The officials got the information about involvement of the accused in the case only after the case was detected by the joint teams of MIDC and Kalamna police.
 

Deceased tested positive
 

After inspecting the crime scene, the police conducted an RTPCR test of swab samples of deceased Vijaya Vijaya which tested positive before the post-mortem report.
