BJP Yuva Morcha’s Thane unit, Prafulla Tangdi, was attacked once earlier, about a year ago, the police said.

Overview

  • The Juhu police have arrested two suspects, Parmeshwar and Kishan Devendra, in the Aug. 10 bus stop stabbing that officers attribute to a revenge plot, while a third suspect remains at large.
  • Officials say both arrested suspects had been externed from Mumbai months earlier and returned to settle an old enmity linked to an alleged killing by Krishna Devendra.
  • In Khardi village, Bhiwandi, multiple masked assailants wielding choppers attacked and killed BJP Yuva Morcha vice-president Prafful Tangdi and his cousin Tejas late on Aug. 11.
  • Bhiwandi Taluka police have registered an FIR naming up to twelve accused, detained several people for questioning and are analysing CCTV footage to identify the attackers.
  • Investigators in both cases are relying on CCTV evidence, witness testimonies, forensic tests and coordinated police teams as they pursue suspects.
