The deceased had a criminal record and was in the business of “Satta” (gambling) since the past two years. He was facing many criminal cases including murder charge.
According to sources, a person named Saoji had visited the house of Ravindra. Saoji had good relations with the deceased Ravindra and was “helping” him in his business. Balya had an 11-year old daughter and his wife used to tie “Rakhi” to Saoji.

Saoji reportedly surrendered to Kalamna police and “confessed” his role in eliminating Ravindra. However, this fact could not be ascertained. It is not clear whether Saoji was arrested or he surrendered himself. It is learnt that Saoji was also involved in murder of Bharat Mohadikar.
Police sources said that the deceased Ravindra Gawande was involved in the murder of one Bhavani. Cops questioned the beer bar manager, waiters, and other nearby people including shopkeepers but could not get any clue. Old enmity could be behind Balya’s murder.
