Constable Shiv Shankar Gaikwad allegedly murdered the 35-year-old Solapur chilli trader in the police quarters and he had plotted everything, further investigation has revealed. The suspect had allegedly killed Dada Jagdale on the suspicion that he was having an affair with his wife.

The decapitated, partially burnt body of Jagdale was found in a housing society at Antop Hill, a stone's throw  from the office of assistant police commissioner (Sion division) on September 30. The head was, however, missing. Earlier this week, Gaikwad told the crime branch that he had dumped Jagdale’s head in a garbage bin at Mankhurd.
