This angle came up for consideration when Crime Branch officers who are investigating Arun Kumar Tikku’s April 7 murder stumbled upon a suicide note written in his son Anuj Tikku’s handwriting, stashed away in one of Palande’s bank vaults. Investigations revealed that Anuj had no idea of having written the note and that Palande had made him write it when he was under the influence of alcohol. Palande allegedly intended to use the note after killing Anuj, to pass off the murder as a suicide and let himself off the hook. Cops are now trying to determine if the same modus operandi was used in Babajee’s death.
