He allegedly attacked the elderly couple he worked for, resulting in the death of the man and injuring the woman. The incident occurred on Monday night in Jogeshwari. The caretaker, Pappu Gawali, reportedly entered the couple's home with the intention of committing robbery and then attacked the couple with a sharp weapon.


The man, Sudhir Chiplunkar, died on the spot, while his wife, Supriya Chiplunkar, was injured. She made an effort to get assistance nonetheless, throwing household things out the windows to get the notice of her neighbours and other building occupants. The police were called by one of the neighbours, who then showed up and brought the couple to the hospital. Sudhir Chiplunkar was regrettably pronounced dead on arrival.
