Jealousy, possessiveness motives behind Udupi Murder Case: Report
Udupi: Following the arrest of Praveen Arun Chougule, a 39-year-old Air India cabin crew member, for the brutal murder of a 21-year-old woman, Aynaz M, and three members of her family in Udupi district, police investigations have revealed the motive behind the crime was "jealousy and animosity," stemming from an alleged intimate relationship between the accused and his young colleague, an Indian Express report has stated.
The preliminary findings suggest that Chougule, a former Maharashtra policeman turned cabin crew member, had developed an over-possessive attitude towards the victim, leading to the tragic incident. The accused, a married man with two children, reportedly had an intimate relationship with Aynaz during work-related travel. The investigation points to jealousy and animosity as the driving factors behind the murders.
Chougule was arrested two days after the gruesome incident, where he allegedly stabbed Aynaz, her mother Haseena M (47), elder sister Afnan (23), and teenage brother Aseem inside their home. The accused, familiar with the family's residence, tracked down Aynaz and her sister during the Diwali break, leading to the horrific crime.
The Udupi police used technical data, including cell phone location and call records, to trace and arrest Chougule. The investigation revealed that his phone was suspiciously switched off during the time of the murders. Aynaz and her sister were killed upon their return to their Udupi home for the Diwali break.
Chougule, after committing the murders, travelled to Kudachi in Belagavi to spend Diwali with his uncle. The police investigation unfolded based on the complaint filed by a neighbour who discovered the crime. Aifa Ayub raised an alarm after hearing cries from the victims' house.
An auto-rickshaw driver played a crucial role in the investigation, revealing that he had transported the accused to the victims' house on the morning of the murders. The accused returned to the auto-rickshaw stand after approximately 15 minutes, leaving behind a gruesome crime scene.
