Theft Motive Behind Murder
Akash confessed to committing the crime with the intention to rob. He and an accomplice stole a two-wheeler from Ambazari, rode to the scene, and attacked the sleeping guard to avoid resistance. After stealing his phone and valuables, they returned the stolen bike and fled Nagpur.
Arrest Based on Technical Evidence
Police traced the stolen bike and used surveillance footage to identify the suspects. Akash was arrested from Tumsar following a swift operation by the Crime Branch.
Past Criminal Record Ignored
Shockingly, Akash had a history of serious offenses, including murder and theft. He had served jail time in a Mouda murder case and resumed criminal activities after release. Authorities also revealed that he was hired as a security guard without any background checks.
The police have registered a case and are intensifying efforts to locate the second accused.
