Manish Shrivas was allegedly lured by one Chhotu Bagde on the pretext of some work, to go with him to a desolate place near Kalamna and old Kamptee, where the other accused were waiting for him. The accused killed Shrivas. They then chopped his body into pieces, stuffed them in a sack and disposed of. They also burnt the clothes in a furnace. Ranjeet Saphelkar was the mastermind in Shrivas murder case and also in architect Eknath Nimgade murder case being probed by the Central Bureau of Investigation.
