They are accused of killing 70-year-old Geeta Bhushan Jaggi and her 45-year-old son Jitendra. Their bodies were found at their residence in ‘Dream Housing Society’ in Sector 6 of Kamothe on Wednesday evening.

The accused have been identified as Sanjyot Dhodke and Shubham Narayani, both 19 years old.

According to reports, after committing the murder, they left the gas knob of the flat open before fleeing. Their intention was to make the murder look like an accident due to gas leakage. Police received a complaint of gas smell coming from the flat at 4 am on January 1 from Dreams Society in Kamothe area. The police team reached the spot and broke the door with the help of the fire brigade, where they found the bodies of Jitendra Jaggi and his mother. However, the post-mortem report revealed that both were murdered. After the arrest, the accused claimed that Jaggi was pressuring them to have physical relations with him. Due to this, they attacked him on the head with an extension board.
