Wife’s Month-Long Plot: Thane Official Killed by Car; Wife and Brother-in-Law Arrested
Karad Crime: A shocking revelation has emerged regarding an alleged road accident that took place early Saturday morning in Karad, Satara district. It has been discovered that Laxman Shrirang Mandale (50), a Sub-Divisional Water Resources Officer based in Shahapur (Thane district), was brutally murdered. This was not an accident; his wife, Surekha Laxman Mandale, and her brother (Sangram Dinkar Chavan) had hatched a plot to kill him a month prior due to a family dispute. The police have arrested both of them.
Sequence of Events
Laxman Mandale was a native of Manav village in Karad taluka. He had assumed his post in Shahapur following a promotion last year. On Friday night, he called his wife to inform her that he was coming to Karad and asked her to pick him up at Kolhapur Naka. Early Saturday morning, around 5:30 AM, while he was walking on the road opposite Shinde Hospital in Karad, a speeding car struck him violently from behind. The driver fled the scene after the incident.
Initially, the case was registered as an accident. However, the Karad police inspected the scene, questioned eyewitnesses, and examined CCTV footage from the area. The footage revealed a shocking detail: after the initial impact, the accused took the bag and belongings Mandale was carrying. They then ran the car over the injured officer, killing him.
The Murder Plot
The investigation revealed that there had been ongoing family disputes between Laxman Mandale and his wife, Surekha. Harboring resentment over these disputes, Surekha, with her brother's help, plotted to eliminate her husband a month in advance. They had hired two contract killers for the task. The police detained the two individuals based on technical analysis and confidential information. The two individuals, who initially misled the authorities, later confessed to the crime.
The Karad police are now searching for other accused persons who were hired to commit the crime. An investigation is also underway to determine if anyone else is involved in the case.
