Killer cop sentenced to life
A constable attached to the Kapurbawdi police station was on Saturday sentenced to life for assaulting a youth leading to his death.
Rajesh Nana Patil (31) was held guilty by the district sessions judge G D Shirvadkar of the fast track court after examining 24 witnesses. The deceased, Prashant T C (28), was a resident of Hyderabad and was staying in Thane when the incident took place a little after midnight on January 5, 2005.
Prashant, a medical representative, had entered into an argument with an autorickshaw driver over a fare when Patil intervened. This subsequently led to verbal exchanges between Prashant and Patil, who then assaulted the youth. Patil forcibly dragged him in the rickshaw and thrashed him all the way up to the Kapurbawdi police station.
Prashant managed to escape, but Patil followed him and found him hiding near Hariyali Park chawl and mercilessly beat him again, apparently causing his death. Prashant’s body was found the next morning.
After beating the youth until he fell unconscious, the constable removed his wallet and took out his identity card to wipe out his identity. He also removed a Rs 500 note which he handed over to the autorickshaw driver, Tarachand Sharma. Interestingly, Sharma did not turn hostile and helped the prosecution to identify the accused.
The complainant, Ritesh Patel, who had witnessed the constable beating the youth also corroborated the allegation, which finally nailed the constable.
