Nearly 75 days after a deputy manager with ICICI Bank’s Virar East branch was killed and a cashier grievously injured allegedly by a former manager who tried to rob valuables worth '3.38 crore, the police have filed a charge sheet, calling it a “pre-planned murder”. The 1,400-page charge sheet into the chilling crime of July 29 was filed on October 12. Accused Anil Dubey had entered the Manvelpada branch after work hours to meet his former colleague Yogita Chaudhary on the pretext of discussing a job switch. 

While Dubey stabbed Chaudhary to death, her colleague Shraddha Devrukhkar triggered the bank’s alarm system and followed him despite sustaining life-threatening injuries. Dubey was caught by locals. Investigation officer Anil Dabade, the in-charge of Virar police station, has collected several pieces of evidence to file the charge sheet, said sources. The statement of star witness Devrukhkar will play a vital role in fetching Dubey’s conviction, said a senior officer privy to the investigation.
