Police sources claim that the arrested accused have revealed that they have studied the Sheena Bora murder case, to know how to dispose of a dead body and an almost similar modus operandi was used to dispose of the body of jeweller Rajeshwar Udani in Panvel.


On Monday Pantnagar police arrested a third accused in this case, who was identified as Pranit Bhoi, 20, a Panvel resident. According to sources, he was allegedly driving the car through which the body was transported for disposal to Panvel at an isolated spot Bhoi allegedly suggested.
