Navi Mumbai Crime Branch Cracks the Murder Case
The Navi Mumbai Crime Branch’s Unit I has discovered a murder case in which neither the accused nor the dead have any leads. Only when the post mortem report indicated that stabbing was the cause of death—originally reported as an accidental death—was the case changed to one of murder.
August 5: A 25-year-old guy was discovered dead on the Thane Belapur Road walkway. It was eventually determined that the robbery was carried out with the goal of robbing a 23-year-old. Sushil Kumar Ramsajivan Vind, 25, was recognized as the dead, while Sameer Amjeet Shaikh, 23, was identified as the accused.
The control room (112) and the ambulance (108) were contacted by a grocery delivery guy at around 2.48 am on August 5 to report that a man seemed to be wounded and had reported being robbed on Thane Belapur Road, close to Ghansoli Railway Station. “When Vind was initially discovered, he was on the center of the road. The food delivery guy noticed him and said, ‘Mujhe loota hai.’ The kid then asked for assistance from other bystanders and managed to get Vind to a covered walkway. A senior police officer from Unit I, Crime Branch, Abasaheb Patil stated, “One of the other people who helped was the grocery-app-delivery boy who then informed the police and the ambulance.” Police from Rabale MIDC have been notified of the matter.
When the police patrol team and ambulances arrived at the scene, they continued searching for Vind. They didn’t find him until 7.30 am on the sidewalk, at which point the hospital admitted him as dead. That day, it was pouring with rain. It was difficult to see. The dead also informed the individuals who spotted him on the road that he was robbed, not stabbed, so it’s likely that they were unaware that he was hurt and bleeding. Deepak Sakore, the Additional Commissioner of Navi Mumbai, stated, “He could have been saved by admitting him to hospital at the right time if after informing police one of them stayed there till we reached.”
The brother informed the police that Vind had previously lived in Kalwa and made a living by selling vegetables. However, he had left for his wedding in his birthplace of Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh, last year, and had just returned on August 1 to begin a new life here following his divorce. On August 4, Vind, who was living with his cousin in Mulund, left the house claiming to be heading to Kalwa to get his phone fixed. According to the CCTV footage, early on August 5, Vind was observed strolling by himself in the Ghansoli neighborhood.
The man may have come to Ghansoli to sell vegetables at the APMC market, however this is yet unknown. He took out loans of Rs. 700 and Rs. 500 from acquaintances, leaving him with Rs. 1200. The corpse was found 200 meters from the scene by the police.

With Ganesh Chaturthi just around the corner, the festive spirit has already taken over Navi Mumbai. Vashi and CBD Belapur witnessed enthusiastic celebrations as devotees gathered to welcome two towering Ganesh idols.
In Vashi Sector 17, the 12-foot idol of Navsala Pavnara Maharaja arrived on September 4 amid the beats of dhol-tasha and chants of “Ganpati Bappa Morya.” Nearly 3,000 devotees took part in the welcome procession. The idol, depicting Lord Ganesha seated on an elephant, will be installed in a grand replica of a royal palace. The mandal is celebrating its 43rd year.
Meanwhile, CBD Belapur Sector 2 welcomed the CBD Cha Raja, a 12.5-foot idol prepared by renowned sculptor Bhendkar from Chembur. A large number of devotees gathered to seek Bappa’s blessings during the arrival ceremony.
The mandal, now entering its 44th year, is creating a replica of the famous Banke Bihari Temple in Mathura as this year’s main attraction.
Beyond the grandeur, the celebrations also reflect Navi Mumbai’s spirit of unity. People from different communities come together to participate in aarti, puja and havan at the mandal. As the city prepares for Ganesh Chaturthi, these celebrations have brought communities together and set the mood for a festival filled with devotion, tradition and togetherness.
Traditional performances, a vibrant procession and an eco-friendly idol mark the beginning of Ganeshotsav in Vashi.
The Grand Celebration
The festive spirit of Ganeshotsav came alive in Vashi as the Ganraj Vashi Cha Raja Public Ganeshotsav Mandal, Sector 16A, began its 43rd year with a grand idol arrival ceremony.
The procession started from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Chowk and made its way to the main pandal amid the energetic beats of dhol-tasha. Thousands of devotees joined the celebrations, turning the streets into a sea of devotion and excitement.
Traditional performances added to the charm of the procession. Mardani Khel demonstrations, a colourful Lezim performance and the presence of a Govinda troupe drew loud cheers from the crowd. The Govindas formed a human pyramid and offered a special salute to Ganraj Vashi Cha Raja.
The event was attended by BJP corporator Anjali Valunj, mandal president and social worker Vijay Valunj, social worker Ajay Valunj, along with mandal office-bearers, volunteers and devotees. This year, the mandal has also focused on protecting the environment. The Ganesha idol, depicting Lord Ganesha seated on an elephant, has been made from paper as part of its eco-friendly initiative.
The organisers said the mandal has been preserving culture and tradition for 43 years and was among the first in Navi Mumbai to organise an idol arrival ceremony. They also invited devotees from across Navi Mumbai and Maharashtra to visit the mandal and seek Bappa’s blessings.
