"They started thinking about the arrest and were trying to flee. But Nilesh told them they'd get arrested even if they tried to flee, so confessing to the crime now would be a better option. Since they were passing through the [police] headquarters, and saw the police station, they approached us and confessed to the crime. Nikhilesh and Akshay claim to have thrown the body near Kolhapur on the Pune-Belgaum route," said Chaudhari adding that they have made Nilesh the complainant in the case.
Accused arrested "We have informed the Shivaji Nagar police in Ambarnath, who will further probe the case," added Chaudhari. "Both the accused have been arrested and further investigation is being carried out," said Parambir Singh, Thane police commissioner.
