A contract killer, alleged to have been hired by a Mumbai-based builder to murder another builder, Suresh Bijlani, surrendered at the Kolhapur police station on Wednesday. Manish alias M Bhai Ramvilas Nagori (28) from Icchalkaranji in Kolhapur was on the run since this September. Soon after his arrest, Nagori told the police that he had taken a contract from a Mumbai builder to kill another builder for which he was to get R40 lakh and a flat in Vasai. He said he had already received R10 lakh in cash. Mumbai police's crime branch officers have rushed to Kolhapur to probe the case.
In 2013, Mumbai developer, Sunil Lahoria, was gunned down. Builder Suresh Bijlani was arrested in the case and kept at Arthur Road jail. Recently, Nagori and an accomplice were hired to gun down Bijlani while he was being brought to the Thane court for a hearing on September 27. Kolhapur SP Pradeep Deshpande said, "Initially, Nagori claimed that a Mumbai-based builder had given him a contract to kill Bijlani, for which the deal was struck at both Nagori's office in Kolhapur and at the office of the Mumbai-based builder."
