Man, 3 minors kill man for not sharing hotspot

Police said Vasudev ran a private finance agency, which provided bank loan services to people. As per his daily routine, he left home for a walk after dinner around 10:30pm but did not return.

Around 2am, a citizen spotted Kulkarni lying in a pool of blood on a footpath near Utkarsh Nagar society and informed the police control room.

After a police team rushed to the spot, cops identified him and rushed him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Vasudev’s brother Vinayak Kulkarni (52) lodged a complaint at the Hadapsar police station, based on which police filed an FIR under Section 103 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

During investigation, police detained three minors boys from Hadapsar area and also arrested a Mayur Bhosale, a 20-year-old resident of Vetal Baba Vasahat in Hadapsar for allegedly committing the murder.

Senior police inspector Santosh Pandhare said, “During interrogation, all four suspects said they had a quarrel with Kulkarni because he refused to provide them hotspot from his mobile phone and hence, they attacked him with sharp weapons, leading to his death. Further probe is underway.”

Police said Kulkarni was married and lived with his family members at the Utkarsha Nagar society.
