Suspect security guard
Senior Police Inspector Nandkumar Krishnarao Mehetar said, “There was a security guard who had been appointed at the petrol pump a day earlier and he is missing after the incident, so we suspect that he is responsible. He might have done it with the motive of robbery. Before he was hired as the security guard, he was a chai wala in the same area.”
According to him, the accused was aged between 22 to 23 years, and had been delivering tea to the petrol pump for the past eight days. When he began work as the new security guard on Thursday, a nearby car washer clicked his picture. The police are now using the picture in their search for the accused. The police are also in possession of the accused’s shirt that he disposed of after the incident.
