The preliminary investigation indicated a homicide with three puncture wounds to the victim’s head. Four investigative teams are set up to work out the various clues available about the murder. Inspector Sachin Wangde, in charge of the Haveli police station, said, “Our investigation revealed that the murder was the result of an old rivalry between some local youths and the victim.
