Police claimed to have solved two cases of blind murders by arresting all the accused.
Superintendent of Police, Indore (East) OP Tripathi said on August 20, unidentified persons had stabbed to death a youth called Shiv (19), son of Surendra Nishad, resident of Mukharjee Nagar, in front of a liquor shop in Banganga police station area.
The accused fled after killing. Next morning another murder of the chain snatcher Ravi, son of Ayodhaya Prasad, resident of Kushvaha Nagar, puzzled the police. The police officer further informed that a police team under ASP Abid Khan and DSP KK Sharma including TI Banganga Yogesh Singh Tomar was trailing the cases. While conducting the case, police got to know that after the murder of Nishad, people had seen three youths running towards Mukharjee Nagar. With this, police arrested one Rahul who accepted the murder with his friends Rakesh Hardia and Govind.
The accused had a dispute with the victim on the matter of liquor. In the second case, police arrested Ajay Prajapati, Inder Singh and Yogesh Dube, who had a dispute with the deceased Ravi as he was threatening the accused for the money. The victim Ravi was a history sheeted and was out of jail 15 days back. Police recovered two knives from the accused. The accused and victims are registered criminals in police records.
