Nejaru murder suspect worked for three months as policeman in Maharashtra: Udupi Police
Udupi: The investigation of the Udupi Police has revealed that 39-year-old Praveen Chowgale, the suspect in the recent murder of a woman and her three children at Nejaru in the taluk, had worked as a policeman for three months in Pune of Maharashtra state.
Chowgale was taken into police custody at Kudachi of Raibag taluk in Belagavi district on Tuesday in relation to the massacre in Udupi and subjected to questioning by the Udupi Police.
The Udupi District Superintendent of Police Dr. K. Arun had earlier told reporters that, as Chowgale's name was found in neither CISF nor CRPF employees' list, the police were checking if he had worked in the Civil Police Department.
Post-investigation, the Udupi Police have found that, after working with the Maharashtra Police for three months, Chowgale resigned to join Air India, which posted him in Mangaluru. Chowgale had been working as a cabin crew member of Air India in Mangaluru the last several years. The Udupi police team also found that the suspect met Aynaz, one of the victims of the murder incident at Nejaru, who worked as an airhostess with Air India.
Four people from a single family residing at Tripthi Layout in Nejaru – Hasina and her children Afnan, Aynaz and Asim – were killed by stabbing on Sunday morning. Hasina's mother-in-law Hajira was reportedly attacked, but escaped death by locking herself in the toilet.
