PONDA: Four days later, and the Ponda police are still looking for clues in the murder of Kundaim resident, Ramesh Gaikwad reported at Manaswadda, Kundaim.
Gaikwad, who was a labour contractor and a native of Maharashtra was residing at Kundaim since last 18 months. He was murdered in his own car by some unknown persons by strangulating his neck; the nylon rope used to commit the offence was found on his person.
“We are trying our best to establish the motive behind the murder. Our investigation revealed that money or robbery was not the cause behind the murder,’’ Deputy Superintendent of Police, Mr Serafin Dias told this daily.
Mr Dias further said that the movements of two suspects, who were detained for interrogations in connection with the murder case were also not matching and therefore they were set free.
“Within next few days, we are hopeful of a breakthrough in the case,” he assured adding that the family members of Gaikwad, who had left for conducting the final rites in Maharashtra, are still to come.
“Statement of the deceased’s wife will be taken, which also could give some clues in the case,’’ said Ponda police inspector and the investigating officer in the case, Mr C L Patil, adding few more suspects will also be questioned in connection with the case to find out the reasons behind the murder.
It may be recalled that the 30-year-old Gaikwad was found murdered in his own Maruti 800 car bearing registration number GA01 S-0920. A local noticed the car and brought to the attention of the police the body that was lying lifeless on the driver’s seat.
