Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh):
Police cracked the Chhindwara Murder mystery on Wednesday and arrested a 21-year-old for allegedly pushing his friend into a 250 feet deep gorge for money. The duo was drunk when the incident happened on the night of December 1.
The accused fled to Ujjain after committing the crime. Following a fortnight-long search, police have arrested the accused. A case has been registered, and he has been sent to judicial custody.
According to information, the accused has been identified as 21-year-old Akash Girare. The victim, Krishna Pandram (23), a resident of Mopani, was Girare's schoolmate and roommate in Chhindwara's Koladhana area. According to sources, Akash lured Krishna with alcohol, and when Krishna became heavily intoxicated, Akash demanded money from him. Upon refusal, Akash seized Krishna’s mobile phone and pushed him into a gorge approximately 250 feet deep, resulting in his death.
Since Akash had known the password of Krishna's phone, Akash took it and transferred a sum of ₹17,000 and ₹20,000 to himself and an aide. This transaction helped the police in cracking the murder case. Following the crime, Akash fled to Ujjain but was tracked and arrested by police. A case has been registered against him, and he has been sent to judicial custody.
