According to police reports, Prafull Tangdi and Tejas Tangdi, residents of Khardi village, were leaving their office JDT Enterprises around 11 PM when the assailants suddenly attacked them with sharp weapons, delivering multiple fatal blows. Both victims died on the spot.

 

The Bhiwandi Taluka Rural Police swiftly arrived at the scene after receiving the information. The bodies were sent for autopsy to the late Indira Gandhi Sub-District Hospital in Bhiwandi. BJP leaders gathered at the hospital after hearing the news. Senior Police Inspector Harshvardhan Barve confirmed the incident, stating that Prafull Tangdi was sitting with two colleagues at his office when the attack occurred. Police are currently examining CCTV footage from the area, and efforts are underway to identify and arrest the attackers soon.

 

Notably, Prafull Tangdi had survived a previous attack about a year ago. He was also involved in the real estate business, and it is suspected that this double murder may be linked to a professional dispute. However, police caution that the exact motive will only be clear after the accused are apprehended.

 

The police have registered a double murder case against the unidentified assailants and are actively searching for them. Further updates are awaited.
