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. Police have also questioned a woman who is a compounder, as she allegedly helped the accused by giving them a drug to sedate a person. Police sources said the accused mixed this drug in the cake that they planned to feed Udani.
