A major breakthrough has emerged in the investigation of photographer Vinay Poonekar’s murder, revealing details implicating Sakshi Grover in masterminding the crime. According to police sources, incriminating evidence from her WhatsApp chats has come to light, showing that she played a part in organizing Vinay’s death.
The alarming conversation, which took place before the tragic event on February 23, implicated Hemant Shukla as the suspected shooter. Allegedly, Sakshi arranged Hemant’s visit to Nagpur, providing him with directions to Vinay’s residence and instructing him to carry out the murder. Hemant Shukla, the assailant, is still at large, raising unanswered questions about the motive behind this heinous act.
Further investigations unveiled Sakshi’s direct involvement in facilitating the murder, as she reportedly guided Hemant to Vinay’s location. The sudden change in plans, from initially planning the murder herself to enlisting Hemant’s help, adds complexity to the case.
Sakshi’s deceptive behavior has confounded authorities, as she initially claimed to have only recently acquainted with Vinay and expressed disbelief in Hemant’s capability to commit murder. However, subsequent revelations during the investigation exposed Sakshi’s consistent attempts to mislead law enforcement.
While the Crime Branch typically oversees parallel investigations into crimes within their jurisdiction, no such involvement has been observed in Vinay’s murder case. Additionally, logistical constraints and limitations from the Thane jurisdiction have hindered investigative efforts, with Crime Branch teams seemingly inactive in providing assistance.
As the investigation progresses, authorities remain vigilant in unraveling the intricate web of deceit surrounding Vinay Poonekar’s tragic demise, seeking justice for the victim and closure for his loved ones.
