Navi Mumbai Police have arrested two men in connection with the killing of 37-year-old Ratneshkumar Rajkumar Jaiswal, officials said. Jaiswal, a resident of Panvel, was found dead near Kalamboli Circle in the early hours of Monday, according to Senior Police Inspector Avinash Kaldate.
Police received information that the attackers had fled the scene on a scooter. Using technical analysis and CCTV footage, authorities quickly identified the suspects and apprehended Mohammad Chand Shabbir Shaikh (25), employed in a private firm, and Juef Jamil Ilias Shaikh (25), a meat seller, on Tuesday.
During interrogation, the accused admitted involvement in a quarrel with a group of transgender persons at the Kalamboli Steel Market service road shortly before the incident. According to the police, the victim and his friend arrived at the spot to mediate, which angered the accused, leading them to assault Jaiswal, resulting in his death. The attackers then fled the scene.
Despite limited initial clues, police worked swiftly and managed to identify and apprehend the culprits in less than 24 hours.
