The incident occurred around 9.45 pm on September 30 near the entrance of Jogeshwari Nagar. The victim’s mother, Lalitaben Dixit, 52, her son Mehul and her 11-year-old granddaughter were at home when the accused, Tejas Jitubhai Maheriya, allegedly arrived at the lane entrance.
According to the complaint, Tejas allegedly abused the family and demanded that they withdraw the murder case against him. He allegedly threatened to kill Lalitaben and her family if they refused.
Accused Allegedly Threatened Family Repeatedly
Lalitaben, who works as a sanitation worker at Civil Hospital, told police that Tejas had allegedly killed her elder son Ketan in 2020. The case is currently pending before a court.
The family also alleged that Tejas had previously stopped Ketan’s minor daughter and the case witness, Maheshbhai Khushalbhai Maheriya, on the road and threatened them using abusive language.
After repeated alleged threats, the family approached Meghaninagar police and filed a complaint.
Police have registered a case against Tejas Maheriya and started further investigation.
