While investigators work to piece together the circumstances surrounding the death of a Mumbai Police constable, the city has been rocked.
Stationed at the Worli Police Headquarters was Vishal Pawar. Before he passed away, Pawar made a statement in which he described the terrifying experience he had on the evening of April 27 while traveling. The ‘fatka gang’ in Matunga allegedly harassed him, took his cell phone, and used a poisonous injection to knock him out.
Pawar lost consciousness for hours before waking up and managing to get home, only to be admitted to the hospital. Sadly, he passed away shortly after from his wounds.
The case prompted the railway police to register a murder case and initiate an investigation. However, after scrutinizing CCTV footage and conducting analyses of Pawar’s mobile phone records and location, the police assert that there is no evidence to substantiate his version of events.
According to police sources, investigations revealed discrepancies in Pawar’s account. While he claimed the incident occurred at 9.30 pm, CCTV footage placed him near Kailash Lassi Shop in Dadar until midnight on the same night.
Authorities suspect Pawar may have been under the influence of alcohol and possibly skipped duty on the day of the incident, casting doubt on the credibility of his narrative. Yet, the pivotal question remains unanswered: if nothing untoward occurred, how did Pawar die?
Authorities are now waiting for the results of the post-mortem report to shed light on this perplexing case.
