Aamir Khan’s ‘Ghajini’ is one of the popular films of its time. There was a lot of discussion about Aamir’s character in this film, who was suffering from amnesia. Due to this disease, he had the names and numbers of his enemies tattooed on his body. A similar real story has come to light in the country’s financial capital Mumbai. Just like the movie Ghajini, a man had written the names of 22 of his enemies on a special part of his body. He did not suffer from amnesia like Ghazni, but this person lived and died daily with the same names of his 22 enemies.
It is amazing that when she was murdered, the name of her murderer was at the sixth position among the names written on her body. This strangest and most shocking murder mystery of recent times begins from the Soft Touch Spa of Worli. On Wednesday morning the police receives a call from this spa. The caller tells that a person has been murdered inside the spa. The police lose their senses as soon as they hear the news. A police team quickly reaches the indicated place. There the police find a dead body of a man soaked in blood. He was murdered with sharp weapons.
But along with searching for the murderer, when the police sends the dead body for post-mortem, the doctor doing the post-mortem suddenly gets shocked after seeing the dead body. Because the names of 22 people, not just one or two, were written on both the thighs of the person who died. Or rather, a complete list of names of 22 people was printed on his thighs through tattoos. But now the question was, what is this matter? What is the secret behind getting the names of 22 people tattooed on the thigh? What is the connection between these 22 people along with the person who died?
So when the police noticed this one line written at the top along with the names written in this list, soon this secret was also revealed. Because it was written in this line. “The names of my enemies are written in my diary. Investigate it and take action.” In this line we were talking about the diary, but perhaps the deceased had written the names of his enemies on his thigh to be on the safe side or to be ‘double sure’. But then the question was, who was this person? And which profession was he associated with, in which the list of his enemies was so long?
After this, when the police noticed a name written at number six along with this long list of enemies, this secret was also exposed. This name was not of anyone else but of the same person, inside whose spa this person was murdered. Yes, Santosh Sherekar. Actually, this spa belonged to Santosh Sherekar and he was the first to inform the police about the murder of a person in his spa. In the investigation so far, the identity of the person who died had also become clear. This person was 52 year old Guru Waghmare. That is, an RTI activist, whose job was to find the shortcomings of the people through RTI.
They had to threaten action and recover money by blackmailing. Perhaps this was the reason why the list of his enemies had become so long. Soon during the investigation it became clear that Waghmare was continuously blackmailing Santosh Sherekar for the last several years and also used to extort money from him. Apparently, for this reason, Waghmare had enmity with Sherekar and Waghmare had also written his name at number six in the list of his enemies. But the question was, how did Guru Waghmare reach Santosh Sherekar’s spa? And who murdered him here?
When the police interrogated the spa owner Sherkar regarding this, this sequence also became clear. Sherkar told the police that Waghmare had reached his spa at around 12.30 last night with his 21-year-old girlfriend. By then the staff working in the spa had gone to their respective homes. He himself came to know in the morning that Guru Waghmare had been murdered in his spa. That means, of course, the incident took place in Sherekar’s spa, but he was not aware of this incident. He said that in the morning, when his girlfriend who came with him told him that he had been murdered, he reached the spa and informed the police.
Now the police, along with interrogating Waghmare’s girlfriend, tried to understand the entire sequence of last night. The girlfriend told that Tuesday was Guru Waghmare’s birthday and she had celebrated with him. Both of them had first gone to a bar, where they had drinks together and then Waghmare took her to Soft Touch Spa. The girlfriend told that last night Waghmare had given a party to the manager and a staff of the spa, after which she went to the spa with Waghmare, while the spa staff went to their home. She went to sleep in a room at the spa at night. He woke up around 9:30 in the morning.
He saw that Waghmare had been murdered. That is, both spa owner Sherekar and his girlfriend were talking about seeing Waghmare alive at night, but were claiming to be unaware of the murder incident. Now the police started technical investigation to know the truth. Started scanning all the CCTV cameras installed around the spa, from the bar where Guru Waghmare and his girlfriend had gone to celebrate their birthday before reaching the spa. In this effort, the police saw pictures of some suspicious people from the bar to the spa. Police noticed that two people wearing raincoats were seen chasing Guru Waghmare on a scooter outside the bar where both of them had come to celebrate the birthday. These two people had also reached the spa.
Actually, about an hour after Waghmare reached the spa, these two mysterious people had come to the spa and stopped at a paan shop near the spa and bought something. These pictures of both of them staying in the paan shop were also captured in the CCTV camera. Now without wasting any time the police started interrogating the paan seller. It was revealed that the two men in raincoats had bought gutkha from his shop last night. Both of them had paid the money for Gutkha through UPI. This was another big clue for the police. The police now immediately found out the name and phone number of the person making the UPI payment to the paan shopkeeper.
Along with this, the call detail record i.e. CDR of the mobile phone of that person named Firoz Ansari was extracted. So that it can be known with whom he was talking before or after the murder. The police were stunned to see that the spa owner Santosh Sherekar, who was claiming to be unaware of Waghmare’s murder, was constantly talking to the same Sherekar, Firoz Ansari, one of the two people who chased Waghmare wearing a raincoat. This means that this murder not only took place at the spa owner’s place, but Sherekar himself was also associated with the murderers. Now the police tightened the noose on Sherekar.
Now he had no option but to accept the truth. He told that on Tuesday night, on his instructions, Firoz Ansari and Saqib Ansari had killed Guru Waghmare. Firoz and Saqib reached the spa about an hour after Waghmare reached the spa. By then the spa staff had gone home. Both of them first took his girlfriend to a room and then killed Waghmare by stabbing her with the blades of the scissors they had brought with them. As soon as the story became clear, the police along with Sherekar also arrested Firoz Ansari, one of the two murderers who committed the crime.
Later, on the instructions of Firoz, his other associate Saqib Ansari was caught in Garib Rath Express from Kota, Rajasthan. Who was running away to Delhi after the murder. Now the question was, why did Sherekar get Waghmare murdered? And how did he plot this incident? So in further investigation the police got answers to these questions also. This was also no less surprising story. Actually, Waghmare was running a blackmailing racket in the name of RTI. Along with other people, he was also blackmailing the spa owner Sherekar for the last several years.
Sherekar and Firoz Ansari earlier used to have a spa in Nalasopara, Mumbai, after complaining about which they got that spa closed. Even after this, he continued to extort money from Sherekar by threatening him. Tired of this, he gave a contract of Rs 12 lakh to his former partner Firoz Ansari. Firoz contacted Delhi resident Saqib Ansari and all three together made a plan to kill Waghmare. Three months ago, all three conspired and then Saqib came to Mumbai from Delhi. Firoz and Saqib started recce of Waghmare. Bought scissors with sharp blades for 7 thousand rupees.
After this both the blades were separated. Then as per the planned conspiracy, on Tuesday night they first chased Waghmare and killed him by entering Sherekar’s spa. One surprising thing is that Waghmare had also got the names of his wife, son and daughter-in-law written on his thigh. Actually, he had a bad look on his daughter-in-law and due to this there was a family dispute. Amazingly, the name of the same Firoz Ansari, with whom he had an old enmity, who took a betel nut in his name and who took his life with his own hands, was nowhere in the list printed on Waghmare’s thigh.
