Baba Pawar, a 39-year-old garbage collector and history-sheeter, was shot dead near his home at Jayshankar Chowk in Kurla West, Mumbai, on Wednesday night. The police arrested three men—Abhijit Jadhav, Dinesh Pawar, and Shubham Ghadge, all in their early 20s—after they surrendered at the Vinoba Bhave Nagar police station. The suspects were identified through CCTV footage. Pawar's family claims that a local political worker, Rupesh Pawar, orchestrated the murder due to a personal vendetta stemming from recent elections. They allege that Rupesh held a grudge against Baba for supporting a rival candidate and had threatened him after Baba intervened in a dispute involving Rupesh's associates. The police have registered a case under sections 103 (murder) and 61 (criminal conspiracy) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and are investigating further to determine if others were involved.
