In June 2016, Shrimant Anna Nagargoje, a 38-year-old man from Satara, brutally murdered his wife, Sushma Nagargoje (30), and six-year-old granddaughter, Priya (6), in Jejuri. Nagargoje, who worked as a trailer driver, had rented a house in Jejuri for his family. He lured his wife and daughter to Pune under the guise of visiting her uncle's house, where he strangled them both in his trailer.
The bodies were then disposed of in separate locations to make it appear as accidental deaths. Nagargoje, fearing arrest, fled to Goa and assumed a false identity, Shripal Yadav, working as a hotel waiter in Panjim. He remained at large for three-and-a-half years before being apprehended by the Panvel City police on January 29, 2020, following a tip-off.
The court convicted Nagargoje for murder under Sections 302, 201, and 471 of the Indian Penal Code and sentenced him to life imprisonment along with fines.
