Accident – Death – Obituary News : Kolhapur: The authorities have apprehended two individuals in connection with the brutal murder of an elderly woman and disposing of her body in the Warna river.

The grim discovery was made on June 21 when a woman’s decomposed body was found in a gunny sack near Kavathesar village in the Shirol tehsil. Due to the advanced state of decomposition, traditional identification methods such as fingerprinting were not feasible. Inspector Ravindra Kalamkar of the local crime branch stated, “Five specialized teams were mobilized to ascertain the woman’s identity. Given that the Warna river spans both Kolhapur and Sangli, our search efforts extended to both sides of the river.”

After an extensive investigation, the woman was identified as Zarina Begum, aged 64, who had relocated from Mumbai to her sister’s residence in Chandur village a year prior. The police brought in Zarina’s nephew, Prakash Chavan, for questioning, leading to a breakthrough in the case. It was revealed that Zarina, who had previously entered into an interfaith marriage, had sold her property for a sum of Rs 28 lakh. Chavan, motivated by greed, perpetrated the heinous act in pursuit of the money. Subsequently, Raju Nayak, Chavan’s accomplice, was also apprehended, and a portion of the stolen funds amounting to Rs 14.5 lakh was recovered by the authorities.

The police’s diligent efforts and comprehensive investigation ultimately led to the apprehension of the perpetrators and the recovery of a significant portion of the stolen money. Such incidents serve as a stark reminder of the importance of community vigilance and cooperation in ensuring public safety and upholding the rule of law.
