The chilling murder of former Pune corporator Vanraj Andekar has sent shockwaves through the city. The attack, which took place in the Nana Peth area, was the culmination of a bitter family feud that had escalated to deadly consequences. Police investigations have revealed that the motive behind the murder was a long-standing property dispute between Andekar and his two sisters, Sanjeevani and Kalyani, along with their husbands, Jayant and Ganesh. The accused believed that Andekar had used his position as a corporator to order anti-encroachment action against a shop they owned, leading to a strained relationship.
The dispute reached a boiling point on the morning of the attack when a heated argument erupted between Andekar and his sisters. Witnesses reported that one of the sisters yelled, "kill him," during the altercation, a chilling statement that has become a crucial piece of evidence in the investigation. Later that night, Andekar was ambushed by a group of 12 men on six motorcycles who opened fire on him and attacked him with sickles. He was found dead at the scene and later declared dead at KEM Hospital. The autopsy report revealed multiple sharp-weapon injuries and gunshot wounds.
The swift arrest of Andekar's sisters and brothers-in-law has raised eyebrows and highlighted the devastating consequences of family conflicts. The police have launched a full-scale investigation into the incident, seeking to identify and apprehend the five other unnamed individuals involved in the attack. They are meticulously examining the evidence gathered from the crime scene and reviewing CCTV footage to reconstruct the events of that fateful night. The case underscores the critical need for families to resolve disputes through peaceful means and the dangerous consequences of allowing anger and resentment to fester.
This tragedy has shaken the city of Pune and serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the need for conflict resolution. The investigation will continue as police work to unravel the complex dynamics of the Andekar family and bring all those responsible to justice.
