Cops crack bank official's murder case within 24-hours

Aurangabad police today claimed to have cracked the murder case of a bank official within 24-hours by arresting four persons, including his wife in connection with the crime.
Jitendra Holkar (47) was allegedly murdered in the wee hours of Saturday in Chhatrapati Nagar locality of Satara area near the city.
Holkar was working as a branch manager with a district bank at Shekta village in Paithan tehsil of the district.
"The wife of the slain bank officer, a political party worker and two others were nabbed within 24 hours on the charge of murder," said a senior police official.
"The deceased Jitendra Holkar used to doubt his wife Bhagyashree's character and so she made a plan to eliminate him with the help of a political party activist Kiran Ganore," said Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Rahul Shrirame.

He added, Ganore (40) took Rs 2 lakh to execute the crime and in turn employed one Tauseef Ibrahim Shaikh and Shaikh Husain Shaikh Basheer to do the job.

Tauseef and Hussain murdered Holkar by silting his throat, said the official.
DCP Dipali Dhate-Ghadge said the CCTV footage of the locality police showed Ganorkar and Tauseef moving in a suspicious manner in the locality.
Later on a tip off, that Tauseef had committed some crime, police arrested him and he spilled the beans about the act, said the official.
