NAGPUR: City police chief Amitesh Kumar, during an informal chat with the media on Tuesday, said he intended to reinvestigate the undetected murders of Sonegaon, including the one which an activist had brought to fore last week claiming it was politically motivated.
Kumar said several undetected murders, like that of Eknath Nimgade, are being reopened to ensure they are freshly tackled to crack them, if possible, even after considerable lapse of time. “We are looking at some of the undetected murders from fresh angle, even if they are with different agencies,” said the top cop.
It’s learnt city police are now left with a challenge to bring to fore the truth behind a blind murder case, in which a skeleton was found in July 2014. Advocate Satish Uke had claimed the victim was eliminated by politically connected persons.
“We are cracking down on criminals, and regularly summoning them and taking action,” he said, adding that anti-social elements and illegal activities are regularly brought under the scanner.
On the Covid front, CP said around 42 personnel are corona positive at present but vaccination drive is also underway.
