Navi Mumbai: Even after close to a fortnight since the IT professional was killed in a road rage incident at Kharghar, the accused who had hit him with helmet -Faizan Shaikh- is still at large and now the police have released his photos. A Nagpada resident, Shaikh is suspected to be hiding in Mumbai and is attempting to secure an anticipatory bail.
On the night of February 10 when the crime branch caught his accomplice Rehan Shaikh (22) from BKC, Faizan managed to give a skip to the police.
On February 3, IT Professional Shivkumar Roshanlal Sharma (45), was killed at around 8.30 pm following a fight over overtaking. Sharma along with the accused stopped between Belpada and Utsav Chowk and started arguing which led to a fight in the course of which Sharma assaulted one of the accused following which the accused took his helmet and hit Sharma on his head, multiple times, a crime branch official had confirmed. Sharma collapsed after he drove 1 km to Kharghar police station and reported the assault.
According to police, the duo came to know about the death of Sharma, only the next day, through media and after that they drove the scooty that was used even at the time of the fight, to Goa and from there they went to Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg, hiding from the police. After the money they had was exhausted, they came back to Mumbai but did not go back to their residence at Nagpada.
“Our team has been continuously trying to nab the accused and are still on the field trying to trace him,” a police officer from Kharghar police station said.
