MUMBAI: Hours after a confectionery store owner was found murdered on the terrace of a Malad society on Wednesday, the police arrested one person in the case. Deepak Gupta, the store owner, was bludgeoned with a brick and strangled with a cable. Police officials examined Deepak’s cellphone records and zeroed in on one Vijay Rajput who was the last person to call him. On sustained interrogation, Rajput admitted to the crime.
A police team left the city on Thursday to trace Rajput’s accomplices. Meanwhile, Rajput (20), when produced before a local court at Borivli, complained of torture. But the court did not find any visible injuries on his body. As he appeared to be young, the court ordered that he should be kept in medical custody where a test will be conducted to ascertain his exact age. Rajput’s statement was recorded by a judicial clerk and he will be lodged at Bhagwati Hospital till April 3.
