Rajkot: Morbi police cracked a murder case dating back to November 2018 by arresting a man living in Rajkot’s Parevadi chowk on Sunday night.
Cops said that they were searching the accused Dilavar Chavada, a native of Vankaner, as he had killed his former wife’s lover on November 14 night in 2018. Chavada had taken help of a man from Uttar Pradesh named Pavan Kumar Bhaiya to kill Bhavesh Bharwad near Raviraj Chowkdi in Morbi.
Chavada was angry over Bharwad as the former’s wife Hasina had illicit affair with the latter. When Chavada had learnt about it, he confronted Bharwad and they had heated verbal exchanges. As she wanted to live with Bharwad, Hasina divorced Chavada which hurt him and he decided to kill Bharwad. When Chavada came to know that Bharwad was alone on the night of murder, he and Bhaiya went to meet him and killed him by hitting a glass bottle on his head.
“We have arrested the main accused, but his accomplice is still absconding. We suspect that he may have fled to his native place in Uttar Pradesh,” said inspector V B Jadeja of local crime branch.
