Kwatra murder: Cops probing ‘sex angle’

Investigations into the murder of Navraj Kwatra, son of late writer Amrita Pritam, has thrown up some shocking revelations.

Some of the persons, who had been visiting the photo studio where Kwatra was killed, told police that instead of taking money from the aspiring models to get their photographs clicked, Kwatra used to give them money.

Other angles, which the police are investigating, are the possibility of some boyfriend of the girl who used to visit the studio could be behind the killing.

According to the police, while Kwatra was staying alone in his flat at Andheri , he was using his LIC Colony flat in Borivli as a photo studio. He also has few flats in Kandivli and Santa Cruz.

“Instead of taking money, Kwatra was paying models. Seizure of sex toys, sexual enhancement pills and female condoms from his studio has made this case complicated,” said a police inspector, who is investigating the case.

“We suspect the murderer could be a boyfriend of some aspiring female model or her relative who would have assumed that after killing Kwatra, he would also get some valuables or money. Another possibility that the murderer may be wanted to acquire his property.”

“We are questioning people on the basis of photographs of female and male models found in Kwatra’s residence. We have formed several teams and they are investigating the case from all possible angles. The mobile phone record has also been checked and calls made and received on his phone are also being verified,” said deputy commissioner of police Mahesh Patil.

The police have issued the sketches of the two suspects based on the description provided by two of his neighbours and the engineer who had gone to update Kwatra’s computer before the incident.
