Accused involved in dispute over repaying victim loan of ₹1 lakh
The Bombay High Court recently denied anticipatory bail to six Army officers charged with the murder of a retired colleague. The police said Ganesh Thokal and his wife were residing at Kamargaon in Ahmednagar district after retirement. Last year, the accused visited them and a quarrel broke out over Bhagwan Yadav, an accused, not repaying Thokal a loan of ₹1 lakh. On September 5, Thokal was called by Mr. Yadav to Pune and he told his wife he was with his colleagues at Murud-Kashid and would return the next night. On September 7, at 7.30 a.m., Thokal’s body was brought to his house. The wife saw injuries on Thokal’s right eye and right ear and filed a complaint against the six colleagues.More Related News
