KGF-inspired teen 'serial-killer' murdered six 'sleeping' guards in MP & Maharashtra

BHOPAL: In a major breakthrough, Madhya Pradesh police on Friday arrested the serial-killer who was being wanted in connection with murder of four security guards in Sagar district. Ironically, he had made one more kill a few hours before he was rounded up from near the bus stand area in Bhopal around 3.30 am.
Accused has been identified as Shivprasad Dhurve, 19, resident of Kesli area in Sagar – and was arrested after he killed a guard of a marble stockist in LalGhati area of Bhopal on Thursday night.
During initial interrogation Dhurve told police officers that he was inspired by KGF 2's 'Rocky Bhai' and had plans to raise funds, become a gangster, so that he could target policemen in future.
Senior police officers are now interrogating him inside a closed chamber analyzing unfathomable behavior. Dhurve claims he simply wanted to become “famous”. Reason why he was targeting only ‘sleeping security guards’ is yet to be ascertained. He studied up to Class 8th and has worked in Goa and speaks English too.
Insiders informed that when Dhurve was arrested by a team of policemen triangulating a mobile phone network, he nonchalantly confessed to have killed a security guard in Bhopal. The mobile phone which led to his arrest belonged to another security guard he had murdered in Sagar this week.
There was a ‘cooling off’ period between his first murder – which he claims to have committed in Pune, Maharashtra – and the next in Sagar, MP.
During interrogation he committed to have killed six guards, including one in Pune a few years back. He said he simply wanted to be ‘famous’
DGP Sudhir Saxena confirmed his arrest and said he is being interrogated.
Mangal Ahirwar – the fourth victim in Sagar district of Madhya Pradesh, had succumbed to injuries during his treatment at Hamidia hospital in Bhopal on Wednesday evening. He was attacked on Tuesday night after which he was referred to Bhopal with grievous skull injuries.
Police had released a sketch of the suspect on the basis of information given by Ahirwar. Sagar SP Tarun Nayak had announced a bounty of Rs 30000 on any information leading to the arrest of the accused.
Accused was on the prowl in MP's Sagar, targeting sleeping security guards. The special team has been set up to track him down.
Three of his previous victims have been identified as Uttam Rajak, Kalyan Lodhi and Shamburam Dubey, aged 50 to 60 years. Lodhi and Dubey were murdered in Cantonment and Civil Lines police station areas on back-to-back nights of Sunday and Monday.
The killings started in May, when Uttam Rajak, 58, who worked as a watchman at a bridge construction site was bludgeoned to death in his sleep. The killer kept a shoe on his face.
Police handled it as a 'routine case' because the connections hadn't emerged. On Tuesday, locals found Dubey, 60, a security guard at Sagar's Arts and Commerce College, murdered near canteen. He, too, was killed in his sleep. Police found a phone near his body. The SIM card was missing but a quick check revealed it belonged to Lodhi (57), a guard who had been hammered to death the previous night. The dots connected.
