Two auto drivers have been arrested in Dombivli, near Mumbai, for the alleged murder of a 44-year-old man. The Vishnunagar police took Yogesh Dongare, 43, and Vilan Taware, 41, into custody, while their accomplice Deepak Karkade remains at large. The victim, identified as Somnath Shinde, was found dead in Devachipada, near Dombivli Creek.
Upon receiving information about a dead body, the police reached the scene and sent the body to Rukhmanibai Hospital for post-mortem examination. Initial investigations suggested that the victim had been attacked multiple times with a stone-like object. Senior Police Inspector Mohan Khandare formed a team under the instructions of DCP Sachin Gunjal to carry out the investigation.

During the course of their inquiry, the police discovered the identity of the deceased and began questioning his relatives and friends. It was revealed that on the day of the incident, Shinde had gone to the Dombivli creek belt with the three accused to consume alcohol.
“We have arrested Dongare and Taware from Dombivli, and they confessed that they were in an intoxicated state and got into a quarrel with Shinde over minor issues. They then used a stone to attack him before dumping his body and fleeing from the spot,” said Khandare. He also mentioned that all three accused are auto drivers. The police are yet to recover the stone used in the crime.
Dongare and Taware will be produced in court on Wednesday, where they will face charges related to the murder. The investigation into the case is ongoing, with efforts being made to apprehend the third suspect, Karkade.
