After supplying a couple of different stories to the police about how and why he murdered HDFC vice-president Siddharth Sanghavi, Sarfaraz Shaikh, 20, has now gone back to his first version: that it was a robbery gone wrong. Shaikh said he had scouted the crime scene - the parking lot of Sanghavi's Kamala Mills office - over five days with the intention of stealing Rs 30,000 for a new bike. He claimed he had held a knife to the banker's throat with the sole intention of threatening him, but when Sanghavi resisted, the blade cut into his neck.

The NM Joshi police yesterday arrested Shaikh and produced him in court, where he was remanded in police custody till September 19. On the same day, at 7 pm, Sanghavi's family also completed his last rites.
