00:14 The incident is of Panvel town in Thane district, which is situated away from Mumbai.
00:27 29-year-old Priyanka Rawat was a social media marketing executive in a company in Vashi.
00:32 She was originally from Pauri, Garhwal and she started her career from a company in Noida.
00:39 In 2019, she got married to Devvrat Singh Rawat from Uttarakhand and after marriage she came to Panvel with her husband.
00:47 After coming to Panvel, she decided to work again and joined a company in Mumbai.
00:54 She worked there for 2 years and then in 2021 she joined her third company in Vashi, where she was still working.
01:02 Priyanka had been in this company for more than a year.
01:06 Priyanka's husband Devvrat Singh Rawat used to work as a team lead in an e-commerce company.
01:12 These two people lived in the Mahalaxmi City Society of Panvel Taluka.
01:18 Priyanka was on a daily basis, during which she used to go to Vashi and from Vashi to Panvel office daily.
01:25 It was around 10 pm on 15th September, when Priyanka was getting off the local train and was moving towards Panvel via the auto rickshaw stand.
01:37 The area outside the station is anyway very busy and in the meantime, two attackers came near Priyanka and cut her throat with a knife.
01:47 There were many more people present at the scene who saw this horrific incident happening and no one dared to catch or follow these attackers.
01:58 Immediately after the incident, Panvel Railway GRP, Panvel RPF and Khandeshwar Police reached the scene.
02:05 Priyanka was immediately taken to a nearby hospital where doctors declared her dead on arrival.
02:13 Usually, Priyanka used to reach home between 10.30 and 11.00 pm.
02:18 But when she did not reach home till 11.00 pm, her husband Devvrat called her number which was picked up by the police.
02:25 The police informed Devvrat that he should reach the hospital immediately as his wife was attacked.
02:31 As soon as he came to know this, Devvrat, who was scared, reached the hospital where he came to know that Priyanka was dead.
02:39 The police believed that this was a planned murder and the attackers had already planned to attack Priyanka.
02:48 Senior Police Inspector Subhash Kokte said that the attackers threw the knife in the attack and ran away.
02:57 It was surprising that no one in the public thought that they could catch them.
03:03 This is an auto-stand area and there is a lot of crowd here. If any of the people caught one of them, it would have been easier to investigate.
03:11 We have started our investigation and no one has been arrested yet.
03:17 All the CCTV footage present at the scene of the incident has been collected and their scanning has also started.
03:23 It was night time, so the faces of the attackers are not visible, but we are trying our best.
03:31 When the police started the investigation with all the CCTV footage, they saw two people in the footage who were following Priyanka from the police station to the convoy.
03:39 It could be seen clearly in the footage that as soon as Priyanka was leaving the station and leaving the auto-stand, she was moving towards the convoy.
03:47 Similarly, the attackers were following her.
03:50 According to the police, the way these murderers had killed the victim, these murderers seemed to be professionals.
03:58 The police took out the photo from the CCTV footage and gave it to their informants and started to find out who these people were.
04:05 With this, the police started to analyze the phone calls of Priyanka and her husband Devavrat Rawat.
04:11 While analyzing the phone calls, the police started to suspect Devavrat's activities.
04:16 The police got a number from his call details, on which he had long conversations for a long time.
04:24 This number was neither of any of his office staff nor of Priyanka.
04:28 In fact, this number was of a woman named Nikita Matkar.
04:31 In addition, the police also found some photos of him and Nikita from Devavrat's phone.
04:36 When the police started to interrogate Devavrat and Nikita, they first tried to deceive the police.
04:43 But when the police put their call details in front of them, they broke down.
04:49 They then admitted that they had killed the victim together.
04:54 A third person who was Nikita's acquaintance, Praveen Ghatke, was with them.
05:00 Actually, Nikita was a teacher in Mankhurd.
05:03 And Praveen Ghatke was the owner of the coaching school in which she taught.
05:07 He met Nikita for the first time in 2018 and was close to her.
05:13 But in 2020, she came close to Devavrat.
05:17 This same Praveen had introduced them to a gang of bulls, of which two people had committed this crime.
05:23 This contract for murder was fixed at Rs. 3 lakhs, of which Rs. 2 lakhs had been given in advance.
05:29 The names of the three people in this gang were Pankaj Narend Kumar Yadav, Deepak Dinkar Chokhande and Raju Sonon.
05:36 Jalgaon police had previously arrested these three in the case of firing.
05:42 Due to the time of night, the faces of the attackers were not clearly visible in the CCTV footage.
05:47 But it could be seen clearly how these people were following Priyanka and then attacked her.
05:52 During the interrogation, Devavrat and Nikita told that they knew each other since 2020.
05:58 And their affair was going on since the beginning of 2022.
06:02 They also told that they had married in a temple in August.
06:06 But somehow Priyanka found out about their marriage.
06:11 After that, she had become an enemy of Devavrat.
06:13 She used to threaten Devavrat every day that she would destroy him.
06:17 She also threatened Nikita that she would separate from Devavrat.
06:21 After getting fed up with Priyanka, they finally decided to remove her from the way.
06:26 Thinking how to remove Priyanka from the way, they decided to give her contract to someone.
06:33 And for this, Nikita started looking for contract killers on the internet.
06:39 Nikita searched for contract killers on the internet for 2 months.
06:42 She searched for contract killers on Google first and then on Facebook.
06:47 She found out about a gang and it had the phone number of the gang.
06:51 She first talked to the gang herself.
06:54 And since Nikita was close to Praveen, she asked Praveen to negotiate with them.
06:59 After Praveen's talk, the matter was finalized in 3 lakhs.
07:03 2 lakhs were given earlier and 1 lakh was decided after the murder.
07:08 Nikita was confident that she would never be caught the way she was setting up the whole trap.
07:15 She had not even deleted her internet search history.
07:19 In addition, the police also got information that 2 lakhs were withdrawn from Devavrat's bank account before the murder.
07:26 Which was given to these killers.
07:28 Since Priyanka was from Garhwal, the media also covered her murder and expressed their grief.
07:37 The Panvel station where this incident took place, there is not much crowd there.
07:42 But there is no police there for security.
07:45 If the police were there, this incident would not have happened.
07:48 And maybe Priyanka could have been saved by reaching the hospital on time.
07:52 There is no police station in the Panvel station area.
07:56 For which there have been demands before.
07:59 An organization called Ashwathama Varish Sangh has been raising demands for this since 2012.
08:05 In 2014, the Sitco board had also allotted land for the police station.
08:09 But as is the case with government agencies, nothing could be done after more than 10 years due to the Lachhar Raviya.
08:16 Ashwathama Varish Sangh's chairman said that the Panvel station area should be made a police station as soon as possible,
08:23 considering the increasing traffic and criminal activities.
