Crime News: In a chilling crime that has shocked Pune, a man was brutally murdered in his own home by a burqa-clad intruder, while his wife and daughters were held hostage. The incident occurred in Karvenagar, where 42-year-old Rahul Pandharinath Nivgunne was stabbed to death when he opened his door to the assailant late at night. The intruder then looted the house at knifepoint before fleeing the scene. Rahul’s wife later filed a complaint with the police, detailing the horrific events that unfolded that night.
According to the police report, Rahul's wife recounted how the family was fast asleep when they heard a knock on the door. Assuming it might be a neighbor in need, Rahul got up to check, only to be met with a deadly attack. The intruder, disguised in a burqa, stabbed Rahul in the abdomen as soon as the door was opened. Wounded and in agony, Rahul collapsed to the ground, his cries waking up his wife and daughters.
As Rahul lay bleeding, his wife and daughters rushed to the scene, only to be confronted by the armed intruder. Holding the family at knifepoint, the criminal forced them into submission and began looting the house. Cash and valuable jewelry were stolen before the assailant made a quick escape. Despite the trauma, Rahul’s wife acted quickly, informing the police of the crime soon after the intruder left. Rahul, a private car driver who supported his family, tragically succumbed to his injuries, leaving behind his wife and three daughters.
The family’s account to the police revealed that the intruder had concealed their identity by wearing a burqa, making it impossible for them to identify the assailant. The murder, which took place in front of Rahul’s daughters, has left the family devastated and in deep shock. Authorities quickly arrived at the scene and have since launched an investigation.
Pune police are utilizing both manual and electronic surveillance in an effort to track down the suspect.
