KALYAN: The Dombivli GRP on Tuesday arrested a carpenter, Bablu Chauhan (35), for allegedly beheading his friend, Bechan Chauhan (32), dumping the decapitated body along the railway tracks and trying to cover up the crime as a violent robbery.
“During questioning, Bablu confessed to the murder and said he had a dispute with Bechan,” Dombivli GRP senior inspector Mukesh Dhage said.
The duo shared a rented room in Dombivli’s Shelar Naka area. Bablu claimed that at 12.30am, when they took an autorickshaw to reach Kalyan station to go to UP, three men intercepted them on Thakurli-Kalyan parallel road. He claimed the men thrashed the driver who drove away, took Bechan and him to the railway tracks and robbed them at knifepoint. He said he managed to escape and approach Tilak Nagar police. When cops reached the spot, they found Bechan’s decapitated body. Police alerted the Dombivli GRP, who initiated a probe and nailed Bablu’s lies.
