Four people have been arrested for murdering Deepak Bhoir, the nephew of Kalyan corporator Vimal Bhoir, outside an Ulhasnagar dance bar on Tuesday. The accused have been identified as Naresh Chavhan alias Bablya, 36; his aide Aniket Shirsat, 28; Raju Kanojia, 29 and Yogesh Lad, 30. They were arrested from Dhule and Indore on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, the accused stabbed 29-year-old Deepak 30 times outside Duru dance bar in Ulhasnagar. Deepak was murdered for beating up Chavhan’s cousin a few months ago.

“A woman called up Bhoir and asked him to meet her at Duru dance bar. This might have been a trap,” said an officer from Ulhasnagar police station. Deepak and his friend reached the bar and came out after an hour. Just outside on the stairs, they were surrounded by Chavhan and his accomplices, who were armed with gun and knives.

“CCTV footage shows that the murder took place at 2.05am. Deepak ran but the accused caught hold of him and stabbed him about 30 times,” said deputy commissioner of police Pramod Shewale.
