Digital Desk: A 39-year-old
police policeman and his brother-in-law were detained in Ulhasnagar for the
murder of a 51-year-old nurse with whom the officer had an illegal
relationship.
Sachin Khajekar, a constable,
strangled the woman in his car on June 13 night and then drove about
Ulhasnagar, Kalyan, Bhiwandi, Nashik, and Nevali village for 13-14 hours
seeking for a location to bury her.
The event occurred in Ulhasnagar 5's Kailash Colony. The woman, Asha

didn't locate any until the evening of June 14th. “He sought assistance from
his brother-in-law in order to dispose of the body. He called another person
and gave him the job. The said person informed us about the incident,” he
added.
