Swapnil Pujare, elder brother of Tushar said, "On 25 December around 7 pm, my brother got a call from Tejas Mhatre, who asked Tushar to meet him for loan related purpose. Around 9.40pm my wife Swapnali received a call from Tushar’s cell phone and the caller said that Tushar is seriously injured and has been admitted to Life Care Hospital, Dombivli."
When Swapnil reached the hospital, he was shocked to see his brother badly beaten up and his genital was cut off. The family shifted Tushar to AIIMS hospital and informed the cops. A case was registered at Manpada Police station and investigations got underway.
During investigations, the cops found out that three persons were involved in the attack and one of them was a woman. The cops managed to zero in on the accused woman after getting a vital clue from youngsters who brought Tushar’s abandoned bike to the police station. The cops rushed to her place in Yashwant Nagar and nabbed the accused.
According to the investigating officer, as per the plan, an accomplice of the accused woman called Tushar and asked him to reach an area, which was isolated. The woman and the other two co-accused reached the spot early and when Tushar arrived, they nabbed him and beat him up. The accused then chopped off his genitals with his knife.
Later, the trio took Tushar to the hospital and fled. Cops have booked Rachna Gotaskar, Tejas Mhatre, Satish Kenia under IPC section 307 (attempt to murder), 120B (Conspiracy), 325 (Voluntarily causing grievous hurt), 342 (wrongful confinement) 352 (criminal force), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 34 (Common intention).
