NAGPUR: She wanted to get rid of the man diagnosed as HIV-positive as he was pestering her for sexual favours. The woman was afraid of being infected with the disease. Shunned by his wife, the man was desperate for sexual relief from his lover with whom he was in relationship for around three years. The mistress roped in three young neighbours with a promise to pay Rs 70,000 to eliminate the man for ever. 

Deepak Purke, an attendant with the Bank of Maharashtra branch in Ayodhya Nagar, was taken to a desolate place near Paunapur in the outskirts of the city on February 13 last month before being stabbed to death. The joint effort of the special squad of assistant commissioner of police RS Pawade and Kalamna police saw the case being cracked with the help of the call details records. Four people, including the mastermind Anita Chaudhari, have been arrested on Tuesday. 

Along with Anita, the police have also arrested two brothers Tejram and Mukesh Moundekar, and Kishore Katwe, all in their 20s, for the murder. The alleged assailants are residents of Lalganj. Head constable Sanjay Wankhede, Anil Karne and Sanjay Bangarkar of the special squad picked up the assailants. 

Police said that Purke, father of two, entered into a relationship with Anita, a mother of three, even while he was having an affair with another woman. Anita's husband had passed away around five years ago. Purke did not have a cordial relation with his family members and often stayed out. He also stayed with Anita on a number of occasions at her place. 

Police said that Anita was given a lot of money by Purke. She had also kept his bike. Soon, however, there was a breakdown in the relationship. Learning about Purke's relationship with Anita, his family member thrashed her. She reported the matter to the police and got Purke's parents and siblings booked for attempt to murder in 2010. 

Police said Purke's health became the prime issue of discord between Anita and him. She contacted Kishore and sought his help in eliminating Purke. Kishore roped in Tejram and Mukesh. She even brought them to Shantinagar where Purke resided so that they could identity their victim. 

It was the call details of the bank that gave police the first clue. Four suspicious mobile phone numbers cropped up before the police. Anita had initially said that she had only one SIM card. But police soon found out that she was possessing more than one. 

PI Rajesh Padvi of Kalamna police station said one SIM was used to coordinate murder plot. Anita had also given a cellphone to Mukesh to coordinate the actions. 

On the day of murder, Anita invited Purke to take his bike. Kishore took Purke as pillion and drove towards Kalamna after they met near Harihar temple. Mukesh and Tejram followed them on another bike. They convinced Purke that the bike was kept in a field near Paunapur where on reaching he was stabbed to death. 

Police said that Mukesh was traced with the help of his girlfriend with whom he had being communicating regularly and had also gone for an outing the day after the murder. Anita apparently had paid only Rs 35,000 till date. Police have recovered the bike of the victim and other evidences. 

Assailants wanted money for sisters' marriage 

Two of the four assailants, arrested for Pradeep Purke's murder, agreed to do the job as they wanted money for their sisters' wedding slated for later this year. Tejram and Mukesh Moundekar, who were apparently given Rs 12,000 each for the murder, were roped in by Kishore Katwe. They even spent the money on wedding-related expenses.
