A 30-year-old man, Roshan Suvarna, has been remanded to 14 days' judicial custody by the Metropolitan Magistrate Court in Borivali in connection with the stabbing death of 22-year-old Mayank Lohar on a Mumbai local train. The incident occurred on June 23, when Lohar was allegedly stabbed three to four times in the abdomen and chest by Suvarna inside the first-class compartment of the Churchgate–Nallasopara fast local train between Andheri and Borivali railway stations.
The police are investigating the case and have recovered the knife allegedly used in the crime, as well as blood-stained clothes and other incriminating material. These items have been sent to the forensic laboratory for examination. The Government Railway Police (GRP) has recorded the statements of around 15 to 20 witnesses, including Suvarna's friend, Tushar Sarvaiya, who had given him the knife around seven months ago.
According to the police, Suvarna had kept the knife with him for self-defence and had intended to use it if he got into an argument with someone. The police are also probing Suvarna's background and seeking his call detail records (CDR) to investigate whether he was in contact with any criminal gang.
The investigation has revealed that Suvarna had obtained the knife from his friend, who worked at an Amazon warehouse in Mira Road. The police are working to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident and whether Suvarna had any prior involvement with criminal gangs.
