Overview
- On May 30 a 42-year-old man, identified as Omkar Singh, was shot several times near the Khadkhadi underpass in Loni and then taken away in a car; police found spent cartridges and blood at the scene.
- Investigators say at least one arrested man confessed that Singh was killed and that the body was dumped in a canal, but searches have not yet recovered or forensically identified the remains.
- Police reported multiple recent arrests that include 17 people accused of sheltering suspects, two prime suspects taken on Saturday and a 21-year-old who allegedly admitted to being among the shooters.
- The arrest of a wanted accused named Gaurav was announced on June 6 after an encounter in which he was injured and later questioned; he reportedly gave a different disposal location from earlier confessions, creating conflicting leads.
- Families and villagers have staged protests over an earlier complaint they filed after a May 20 road‑rage incident that police registered as an FIR only on May 30, and local officers have been suspended as probes and wide searches continue.
