Baba Siddique murder: Photo taken by accused at Juhu beach became the first clue in police probe

An officer said, “Immediately after the arrest of two, we checked their mobile phones and found a photograph of three persons on Kashyap’s phone. When we asked Kashyap, he told us that the trio who had been in the city for nearly a month had gone to Juhu beach as they had heard a lot about it. They got themselves clicked by a photographer and Kashyap took an image of the photograph on his phone. The photograph was helpful since it immediately gave a face for the third accused who was absconding and also proved the trio had been together.”

During further probe, police found that Dharmraj Kashyap (19) and Gautam (24) — both hailing from Bahraich in UP, had come to Mumbai from Pune in September first week. Within days, Gurmail Singh (23) reached Mumbai from Kaithal in Haryana. (Also Read)
