Shocked family members informed the police who dug out the body from the pit and sent it for postmortem. The accused was taken into custody and interrogated at Kuravali police station where he confessed to the crime.
As per reports, the victim had gone to his brother’s house at night. After a while, an argument broke out between the accused Satyabhan and Neksu under the influence of alcohol and both of them started abusing each other.
Meanwhile, Satyabhan attacked Neksu with an axe kept at home. Neksu died on the spot. When the intoxication wore off at late night, Satyabhan was terrified to see his brother's body soaked in blood. In the middle of the night, he removed the slab placed on the submersible pit in the courtyard and put Neksu's body in it. He put soil over it and placed the slab on it.
