Gujarat: CA arrested for murder confesses to 52 snatchings

RAJKOT: The arrest of a 25-year-old Rajkot man in a murder case not only revealed his involvement in this crime, but also the fact that he had eschewed a bright career as a qualified chartered accountant and resorted to as many as 52 chain and mobile snatching too.
Amreli local crime branch (LCB) arrested Vrushant Dhanesha alias Shyam for allegedly clubbing to death a 30-year-old man Jignesh Dhakan in Shani Ashram of Odia village near Savarkundla on the night of June 7.Investigation revealed that Dhanesha had killed him as he suspected that Dhakan had got to know about his heists and would inform police.
“Dhanesha frequented the ashram and became friends with Dhakan. During casual conversations, Dhakan started asking Dhanesha about his background. He got suspicious that Dhakan had come to know about his criminal background,” said RK Karamta, in-charge police inspector with Amreli LCB
On the evening of June 6, when Dhanesha visited the ashram, Dhakan again started asking him about his background which only strengthened his suspicion. However, while leaving the ashram, Dhanesha forgot to take his bag, which he came back to take. At that time, he saw that Dhakan was asleep and there was an iron rod lying nearby. Dhanesha then clubbed Dhakan to death with the rod.
“The ashram priest saw him fleeing on the bike. We focussed our investigation on the ashram premises as Dhakan lived there. We came to know that Dhanesha used to frequent the ashram and that he had become friends with Dhakan. On the day of the crime, we found that Dhanesha had come to the ashram and had met Dhakan. As our suspicion grew, we rounded up Dhanesha, who, during interrogation, confessed to killing Dhakan,” said Karamta.
