Local residents, upon hearing the sound of the gunshot, rushed to the spot and discovered Yerkar unconscious and bleeding profusely. They quickly summoned help and transported him, accompanied by Samir Chavhan and Bhalekar, to Central Hospital in Ulhasnagar. Unfortunately, Yerkar was declared dead on arrival.

Jitendra Thakur, Senior Police Inspector, shared, “Upon investigation, the arrested accused claimed that a group of 20 to 25 people had attacked and fired at Rajan Yerkar, while they managed to escape. However, during our inquiries, we found inconsistencies in their statements. The truth eventually emerged, revealing that Bhalekar had shot Yerkar due to trivial issues arising from their intoxicated state. We have formed four teams to apprehend the absconding accused. Additionally, it was discovered that Yerkar had a prior criminal record related to illegal possession of firearms.”

Following the incident, the police have registered a case against the accused under section 302 (punishment for murder) of the Indian Penal Code.
