Last week, murder accused Vijay Palande managed to slip out of the cops’ clutches, even after he was arrested. Even after his re-arrest, it appears that Palande has not abandoned his habit of bluffing the police. After systematically misleading the cops for three days, Palande finally revealed where he had dumped Karan Kakkad’s body, following which Amboli cops have recovered disembodied parts from the forests at Kumbharli Ghat in Chiplun.
