Nerul double murder case: 6th suspect arrested after month-long manhunt

In India, the Navi Mumbai Crime Branch has apprehended the sixth and final suspect in a double murder case involving land dealers Aamir Khanzada and Sumit Jain. The two men went missing on August 21, prompting their families to file missing persons reports. The investigation escalated when Khanzada's abandoned car was discovered with gunshot marks, leading police to suspect foul play. The bodies of both men were later found, confirming the murder. Jain's body was located on August 23, while Khanzada's was discovered on August 27. The investigation revealed that Jain was the mastermind behind the crime, having shot himself to create a false narrative of an attack. However, during a confrontation over payment with the assailants, Khan and another accomplice, Raja Madhu Mudaliyar, killed Jain. The police deployed multiple teams across various cities to track down the suspects, ultimately leading to Khan's arrest in Bhiwandi after a month-long manhunt. Khan, who has a history of violence with three murder cases against him, was found in possession of a knife and a gun linked to the murders. The police are still searching for another firearm that was discarded during the incident. The case highlights the complexities of criminal conspiracies and the challenges law enforcement faces in apprehending suspects involved in such serious offenses. The arrests of the initial five suspects, including Mudaliyar, underscore the collaborative efforts of the police in resolving this high-profile case, which has drawn significant public attention due to its violent nature and the involvement of multiple individuals.
