KALYAN: The Kalyan crime branch unit of Thane police on Tuesday handed over arrested building materials supplier Kamlesh Shinde (37) of Dombivli to the Jaipur police in an attempt to murder case.
Shinde was wanted for trying to kill the husband of the woman he loved.
The woman, however, did not reciprocate his feelings.
The accused paid five lakh rupees and hired two contract killers to murder Jaipur-based businessman Aaditya Jain (41) as he was infatuated with his wife.
Police said the incident came to light on June 16 when two unknown persons on a motorcycle fired three rounds at Jain outside his house.
Jain suffered bullet injuries on his hand and is currently admitted to a private hospital.
After the firing, Jaipur police filed an attempt to murder case and recorded Jain’s statement.
Police made the connection with Shinde after Jain revealed that between 2018 and 2020 his family lived in Dombivli, where Shinde got infatuated with his wife and started harassing them.
It was because of this that Jain left Dombivli to settle in in Jaipur.
Jaipur police shared Shinde’s details with the Kalyan crime branch unit and a team led by senior police inspector Sanju John laid a trap and nabbed him on Monday evening.
