In a major blow to the Khadakpada police, the Kalyan court on Monday rejected its closure report in the suspicious death of gangster Naresh Pahalajani alias Naresh Chaddi and ordered further investigation. The decision comes weeks after the deceased's family challenged the report, alleging that the investigating officer did not probe the murder.

Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) of Kalyan division Anil Powar had filed the closure report in October, citing accidental death case.
