Shree Jogdhankar, co-accused in the murder of a 19-year-old student during a New Year’s party is a violent person with a criminal past, the Khar police told a court on Thursday as they sought to keep him in their custody for 14 days. The police said Shree had earlier assaulted a paanwala and had allegedly also hit a taxi driver. They said the other co-accused Diya Padalkar, 19, is cooperating with them. The police told the court that earlier they could not get sufficient time to question Shree because he was hospitalised for injuries sustained on the night of the murder.
