Gujrat Police: Police arrest stepson for killing woman ASI

AHMEDABAD: The mystery behind the murder of a woman assistant sub-inspector of police has been solved. Her stepson was arrested by Naroda police on Sunday. Cops said that it was a property dispute that drove Dinesh Rohankar, the stepson, to kill the woman cop Sharda, 52. Dinesh has been booked for conspiracy and murder of Sharda.

According to Naroda police, Sharda was killed with a blunt weapon at her residence at Sun bungalows, near Parshwanath Township in Naroda on Saturday. She was posted at the women police station in Karanj. Dinesh had claimed to have chanced upon her body and he had raised an alarm to draw attention of other family members and neighbours.

"We got suspicious about Dinesh's activities. He claimed that finding the door locked, he had broken the window and spotted Sharda's body. He could have easily gone to the back of the house to check. We also noticed that the killer had mopped up the entire place to clean blood stains from the floor. Also, there was nothing missing from the house which eliminated the possibility of an armed robbery. The final clue was tea and milk near the gas stove which pointed towards the presence of someone known to the victim," said G H Gohil, inspector of Naroda police station.
