Waiter's Gossip Leads to Arrest of Murderers

A murder case that had gone cold for months was finally solved by the Navi Mumbai police thanks to a scrap of gossip among the waiters of a bar in Vashi. On December 27, 2014, the body of an unidentified woman in her 30s was found in a nullah in sector 17 in Vashi. Despite registering a complaint of murder against unknown persons, the police could not get any clues to ascertain the identity of the victim.

Earlier this month, a bar waiter while having a casual conversation with police constable Parshuram Kengar revealed that he had heard about a bar girl going missing a few months ago. The waiter told Kengar that the girl was having an affair with a regular customer at the bar where she worked and had suddenly disappeared. This information was passed on to the police and an investigation was initiated.

Over the next few days, the police zeroed in on a customer named Yogesh Kale, who confessed to have killed the bar girl, Anjali Shetty. Kale had got into an affair with Anjali but when she started insisting that he marry her, he took help of two of his friends to get rid of her. On December 26, the trio picked up Anjali from the bar and took her to Vashi, where they hit her repeatedly on the head and strangled her with her own dupatta. They then dumped the body in the nullah where it was found the next day, and fled the scene.
