Navi Mumbai murder case
In a separate incident, the Navi Mumbai police solved the murders of a 70-year-old woman and her son in Kamote with the arrest of two 19-year-olds. Geeta Bhushan Jaggi and her son Jitendra (45) were found dead in their house in Sector 6 on Wednesday evening, after which local police and Crime Branch teams began probing various angles, the official said.
The murders were cracked in less than 24 hours after a case was registered under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the official said. An official earlier said relatives who had come to the house on Wednesday evening (January 1) had found the door locked from inside and had got no response from the mother and son, after which they alerted police.
When police and fire brigade personnel entered the house, it was filled with the smell of LPG as the gas knob was kept on, while the woman and her son were found dead in the bedroom, the official added.
