Sitting amid the blackened remains of his home, 32-year-old Nikesh Gawali carefully broke open a half-melted plastic box with a screwdriver. His hands shook slightly, not out of fear, but out of hope. “I’m trying to find my daughter Aarti’s gold earrings,” he said quietly, still focused on the box. “She’s just five. I got them made recently after months of labour work.” The plastic box, warped and blackened by heat, was one of the few things left from his two-room house on the outskirts of Dhamangaon village . All around him lay ash, broken tin sheets and charred wooden beams. The walls had cracked under the heat and the front room’s tin roof had caved in completely.

A livestock trader was brutally murdered by four persons and the body was dumped in the well to destroy the crime evidence in the Narkhed police station area.
Shubham Baburao Jadhav (25), Vaibhav Satish Jadhav (25), both residents of Khedikaryat; Hemraj Gajanan Babulkar (40) and Umesh Kishanji Rewatkar (30), both residents of Tinkheda, were arrested by Narkhed police for killing Babarao Suryabhan Paripagar (55), a resident of Khamli village in Narkhed tehsil.
According to police, Paripagar was a livestock trader and used to visit villages for the trading. On May 13, he came to Khedikaryat village where he met Shubham Jadhav. Their deal was derailed over an amount.
Jadhav then called his accomplices and they hatched a conspiracy to kill Paripagar. “They wanted to get hold of the money of Paripagar,” said PI Jaipal Girase.
The accused attacked the man with a rod and boulders and killed him. Later, they dumped the body in the well and went away with Rs 55,000/- cash. The incident came to the fore on Tuesday when the villagers noticed fielthy smell. After noticing the body lying in the well, Narkhed police were informed.
Missing complaint was already registered in this regard at the police station, said PI Girase. As relatives of Paripagar were suspicious about Shubham Jadhav’s involvement, the police took him into custody. During interrogation, he spilled the beans and revealed names of other accused. Accused Vaibhav Jadhav and Hemraj Babulkar have history of a murder.
The accused have been booked under Sections 302, 404, 201 and 34 of Indian Penal Code. Further investigation is on.
