Wife arrested for transporter's murder
BHARUCH: Police have arrested the wife of leading transporter Sunil Tapiawala in the case pertaining to his murder on July 1.
Hirva Tapiawala is accused of asking Sunil's sister-in-law's husband Sachin Pandya to hire professional killers to liquidate her husband. Mumbai-based Sachin was arrested from Jalandhar in Punjab last month.
Kaushik Pandya, deputy superintendent of police at Bharuch said, "Hirva had agreed to pay Rs 25 lakh to Pandya, who hired two mechanics Saddam and Sameer for the job."
Sources said that a property and financial dispute was the motive behind the killing. Sameer and Sadaf came to Bharuch on July 1 and later stabbed Tapiawala in his neck, chest and abdomen killing him on the spot. After an hour of the murder, a car bearing Mumbai registration number was found near the house. The cops found that the car belonged to Pandya's neighbour in Mumbai.
Police said that Pandya had accompanied the two killers to Tapiawala's bungalow at Anand Mangal Society. Tapiawala allegedly died in the presence of his wife.
Hirva had told the police that her husband was killed by unidentified persons, who had come to their house with the motive of robbery. Sources said that Hirva has been sent to police remand till September 11. It was during his interrogation that Pandya had revealed that she was the mastermind behind the murder. The cops are now looking for Sadaf and Sameer.
