Driver Denied Bail in Gruesome Murder Case
24 Jan
Summary
- Driver's bail denied in alleged murder of a car renter.
- Victim died from head injury and multiple blunt-force impacts.
- Court cited photo evidence and witness statements for denial.
A local court has dismissed the bail application of 23-year-old Omkar Gawde, who is implicated in the alleged murder of Kapil Chaudhary. Gawde was employed as a driver by a rent-a-car agency owner, Gurudat Lawande.
Gawde's responsibilities reportedly involved delivering and collecting vehicles. The prosecution asserted that Gawde and others chased the victim after he exceeded his rental period and crossed a border, leading to a fatal assault. The victim sustained a critical head injury and multiple other injuries consistent with a brutal beating.
The court denied bail, citing photographic evidence showing Gawde with the deceased and witness statements confirming his presence at the crime scene. Gawde's location was tracked to Tivim for an extended period on the day of the incident. The court emphasized that the investigation is ongoing and sufficient evidence exists against Gawde at this preliminary stage.
