Man hammers co-worker to death for making sexual advances

Nagpur: A 25-year-old man, identified as Devanash Raghore, allegedly hammered his co-worker Raju Nandeshwar, 32, to death for making sexual advances at the garage in Dabha where they worked and stayed in the early hours of Sunday.
The accused later dragged the body for more than 100 feet and dumped it behind the shrubs at a desolate place.
Police said Raghore, a native of Wardha, had come to work at Digambar Durge’s garage some time back. Nandeshwar, who worked as a labourer, was also sheltered by Durge at his garage after the victim had lost his job due to an ailment. It’s learnt that Nandeshwar too worked in the vicinity earlier.
After Durge extended assistance to Nandeshwar, the two started staying together at the garage. After his arrest, Raghore told the police that Nandeshwar used to harass him with undue advances and raunchy remarks which left him miffed.
The duo also had an altercation a day before. Police said Nandeshwar was stuck on the head with a hammer by Raghore who dragged the body and left it behind the shrubs in the early hours.
Cops have also come across the dragging marks on the road in front of the garage. The accused had also cleaned the blood stains at the garage.
Raghore tried to mislead his employer by saying that Nandeshwar left the garage while he was asleep. The murder came to the fore later in the day when passersby spotted the body and alerted the cops.
Sources from Gittikhadan police station said Raghore was rounded up as he was the only one with Nandeshwar. Initially, Raghore was denying his involvement in the case but later, spilled the beans during sustained questioning.
