2 constables with Mira Bhayandar Vasai Virar arrested for abetting suicide of Nalasopara builder
VASAI: Two constables attached with the Mira Bhayandar Vasai Virar (MBVV) commissionerate were arrested by the Achole cops (Nalasopara) on Wednesday early morning under charges of abetment of suicide and criminal intimidation.
They were sent to five days of police remand after they were produced in the Vasai court on Wednesday afternoon. They were allegedly pressuring a Nalasopara developer to vacate a project he was working on, in which the cops had financed him.
In the FIR, daughter of the deceased, mentioned that her father, Jayprakash Chauhan who was a developer by profession, was developing a property Om Shree Ji Cooperative Housing Society since 2015 in Nalasopara east and had constructed six floors and the work was not going ahead due to funds crunch. Hence, Chauhan took finance from these two cops in January of around four to five lakhs and then in April of around 20 - 25 lakhs. She claimed that the finance taken was around 33 lakhs from these constables Rajesh Mahajan and Shyam Shinde.
In the second week of June, while having food with the family Chauhan mentioned that Mahajan and Shinde were pressuring him and had threatened him to leave the project as they have already decided who will continue this project and he was tensed. Again after a week he revealed that these cops had threatened him to book him in a false case and apply a series of BNS sections which will force him to rot in the jail. He also mentioned that these two cops were promised a couple of flats against their finance of 33 lakhs but now wanted the whole project. Post this, Chauhan switched off his cell phone due to fear and left his home and started living at a different flat.
It was on the night of June 30 around 9:30 that things went out of hand when a broker, Lala Lajpat, who is the third accused in this case, reached his house, threatened him, and told him to leave the project.
Next day when he wasn't reachable , the family went to the flat he was staying, and found him hanging from the ceiling. He was taken to the hospital, where he was declared dead on arrival.
This is when the family went to take Chauhans Aadhaar card from his car, that they found his suicide note mentioning names of Mahajan and Shyam Shinde. The Achole cops didn't wait for a moment and first filed an accidental death report (ADR) on Tuesday late night and then filed the FIR at 5 in the morning and arrested both the cops by taking them into custody.
