Man kills friend over a financial conflict, and in a strange twist of fate falls to death while trying to throw the body in Amboli Ghat
In a rather unusual twist of fate, a man who killed his friend over a financial dispute lost his own life while trying to hide evidence of his crime.
Bhauso Mane, a resident of Karad in the Satara district of Maharashtra, died on Sunday after he slipped and fell into the Amboli ghat in the Sindhudurg district.
He was driving 400 kilometers to cover up the murder of his friend. According to the police, Mane and another person, identified as Tushar Pawar, had traveled some 400 kilometers to reach Amboli Ghat to dispose of the body of a man he had killed.
Sushant Khillare, also a resident of Karad, was killed by the duo after some dispute over a money transaction on Sunday. The pair then decided to dump the body in Amboli ghat. But while dumping the body, Mane lost his balance, fell down along with the corpse, and died.
Two bodies were found 10 feet apart. Mane’s friend, Pawar, who had a narrow escape got frightened and drove to a nearby temple, from where he called up his family and confessed about their crime.
The murder came to light on Tuesday after a local found one of the bodies and informed the police. Later the police team found two bodies, about 10 feet from each other, 150ft downhill.
Amboli ghat is supposed to be a famous spot for dumping bodies. The area receives the highest rainfall across the state and was once infamous for being a ‘favorable spot’ for dumping bodies. Two more bodies were dumped in the area in the past three years. Since then, a number of CCTVs have been installed across the tourist footfall route,” a police official told The Times of India.
Amboli Ghat is a mountain pass in the Sahyadri. The hill station of Amboli lies on this ghat on the way from Kolhapur to Sawantwadi (via Amboli). This ghat receives heavy rainfall and is surrounded by dense luscious forests, gushing waterfalls, and a beautiful natural landscape. It is one of the top tourist attractions in Maharashtra.
