Hasina's Trap and Gangster's Master Plan!: Killers Leave Blood-soaked Body in Bathroom, Police Shocked As The Mystery Of Bollywood Actor's Father's Murder Reveals

Know the story of Arun Tikku murder in Case 3 of Bollywood Crime Files. Arun Tikku was the father of famous actor Anuj Tikku. Anuj was the first suspect in the murder, but when the investigation began, the seemingly ordinary case turned into a big serial killing, with the strings of gangsters, actresses and big conspirators. It was April 7, 2012. There is a high-rise apartment in Mumbai's Lokhandwala, whose name is Samarth Anang. Thousands of people live in this multi-storey building. At around 11.30 pm that night, a man named Harangad Singh Maini, a resident of the building, had gone out to get medicine for his father. As soon as he opened the door of his car parked in the parking lot, his eyes fell on the first-floor window. An elderly man was attacking an elderly man with a knife. The old man was seeking help from the window in an attempt to save himself when the window curtain rod collapsed. As soon as he saw the scene, the man rushed to the guards and told the whole story. Three guards accompanied the man to the flat on the first floor. The bell rang, and a man came out shirtless. He was asked, "What is going on inside?" He said in a nervous voice, "There was a fight, but everything is fine now. Harang noticed that the man had blood marks on his chest and abdomen. He asked again, "Where is the old man?" He replied, "He is sleeping in the other room." The guard asked again, "Who are you?" This time the answer was – we are paying guests. This flat belongs to Anuj Tikku (actor), we have rented it for 30,000. Harangad found it strange. When he opened the door and entered, he saw another man. His feet were in a puddle of blood and there were many blood stains on the ground as well. As she moved towards the bathroom to check, the two men pushed her out of the flat. As soon as they stepped out, the four of them locked the door from outside and called the police. Everyone stood guard there until the police arrived. It took about half an hour for the police to arrive. When the police opened the door and entered, the entire flat was in disarray. There were blood stains all around. The fridge was gone, the sofa and the belongings were scattered. The two men fled. As soon as the police reached the bathroom, the scene was terrifying. There was the blood-soaked body of the same elderly man that a pedestrian had seen from the parking lot. There were multiple stab wounds on the body and a computer wire was wrapped around his neck. The bathroom window was broken, which clearly showed that the duo had fled from the same spot. When the people in the building were questioned, everyone said they did not know the old man. I had never seen him here before. And when further inquiries were made, it was revealed that the flat belongs to actor Anuj Tikku. Anuj Tikku is a well-known actor of Bollywood. She was seen in films like Shah Rukh Khan's 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' and Rani Mukerji's 'No One Killed Jessica'. Apart from this, he has been a part of about 70 ad films. A search of the room found the mobile of the old man. The last call was made to his son Anuj Tikku from that number. The police made several calls to that number, but the number was switched off. Some other relatives were informed of his death by calling from his own number. Indeed, it was just a coincidence that Arun Tikku was in that flat that day. He had suddenly come to meet his son. He did meet his son that day, but this turned out to be his last. A conspiracy was hatched to kill Arun Tikku, but it was a flaw in the plan to kill him in this way. The assassins' plan was something else and much bigger than this. Anuj Tikku arrested from Chiplun The body was sent for postmortem, several hours passed, but Anuj still had no clue. The murder of the father on the one hand and the sudden disappearance of the son on the other, was very strange for the police. The first suspect of the police in the case was Anuj Tikku. Anuj Tikku was nowhere to be found, after which the police traced his location through CDR (Call Detail Record). Anuj Tikku's location was first in Mumbai and then in Chiplun near Goa on the day of the murder. On April 10, three days after the murder, Anuj Tikku was arrested from Chiplun. Karan Sood, who was present with them, was also arrested. Their fingerprints were taken. After his arrest, Anuj was told by the police that his father had been murdered. Recalling that day, Anuj Tikku says, "I fainted. My face was completely white. There was darkness in front of me, something I had never experienced in my life. My body was numb on one side. I was so scared, I was trembling," he said. The first question the police asked was, "Where were you when your father was murdered?" Anuj replied, "I was in Goa. My friend Karan Sood took me to Goa to show me the casino with him. We stayed in Chiplun," he said, when asked by the police what finally happened on April 7. "My father came to Mumbai on April 7. We were renting out our flat, they had just come to see the rental agreement. In a conversation with Divya Bhaskar, Anuj recalls the horrific day of April 7, "In the morning, my creative writing was going on. I had a company in which we used to write TV shows. Then my friend Tiwari ji came. We went to lunch, ate dosas. At around 7 o'clock, I got a call from Karan. I used to know him as Hotelier Karan Sood. He said let's go to Goa, I'll show you the casino. He used to turn me into a Mercedes." 'That same day, my father came to check the rental agreement. He returned the next morning. I had dinner with my father and then I left for Goa with Karan Sood at 8-9 pm. Manoj and Dhananjay came 5-10 minutes before my departure. I told Dad that these people wanted to paint and paint. Then I left.' The rental agreement that Anuj referred to was between him and a foreign woman. Anuj had 3 flats in Samarth Angan Apartment. He used to live in one by himself and the rest of the flats he used to rent out to a Bollywood struggler actor. The two flats had been lying vacant for a few days. In such a situation, his friend Karan Sood introduced him to a foreign woman, who wanted to rent a flat. Karan himself had made a rental agreement. Apart from this, he had sent two of his servants, Dhananjay Shinde and Manoj Gajkosh, to renovate the flat. After hearing Anuj's statement, the police first suspected his friend Karan Sood, whose two servants were last seen with Arun Tikku in the flat. Senior Mumbai Police officer Himanshu Roy was investigating the case. As soon as he questioned Karan Sood, he was surprised. The Karan Sood whom Anuj Tikku was calling his close friend was not a wealthy hotelier but the most wanted criminal Vijay Palande, whose name had come up in many murders before. Vijay escaped from custody by the time he was produced before the court. However, he was recaptured from Churchgate shortly after. When the police asked Anuj how he finally knew Vijay Palande aka Karan Sood, Anuj took the name of Simran Sood. Simran Sood was an actress, appeared in many films and modelled in Mumbai. Anuj told the police that Karan Sood is the brother of actress Simran Sood, who owns several hotels abroad. It was all a lie. Neither Simran Sood's real name was Simran, nor did Karan Sood reveal her real identity. Simran's real name was Seema Dosanjh and Karan Sood was Vijay Palande. The two were not siblings either. They got married in 1997. The case was further complicated by the entry of actress Simran Sood. However, from Anuj's statement, the police understood that he had nothing to do with the murder. After the interrogation, police officer Himanshu Roy held a press conference and gave a clean chit to Anuj Tikku in the case and made him a government witness. Simran and Karan (Vijay Palande) were close friends of Anuj Tikku. In 2010, Anuj became friends with actress Simran Sood and soon the two started visiting each other's houses. Now the question was how and why did the famous actor Anuj Tikku befriend the notorious criminal and what did actress Simran Sood have to do with all this. It was Simran who had grown close to Anuj under a well-planned conspiracy. Recalling his first meeting with Simran in 2010, Anuj Tikku says, "In 2010, I met Simran almost two years before the murder. I went to a studio for dubbing. Music director Jan Nisar was a friend of mine there. Simran had also come there to cut an album. It was my director friend who introduced me to Simran. We became friends. You meet a lot of people in Bollywood. Every day, you meet four or five people, directors, producers. When she came home one day, I had a friendly meeting there. We exchanged books with each other. She used to take my books, my CDs, my videos. Once or twice, he had to come and go like this. "Simran said that she is a model and has done two or three films and lives nearby here in Lokhandwala and nothing more. I remember two months before my father's murder she started seeing me more because I think I was one of her targets." It was Simran who introduced Anuj to Karan Sood (Vijay Palande) for the first time. Simran lived in Oberoi Springs in Mumbai. One day, it was there that Anuj met Vijay Palande for the first time. To this, Anuj says, "Once I went to Simran's house. There, Simran introduced me to Vijay Palande as Karan Sood. Saying that he is my brother, he is in the hotel business, he has hotels in Spain, he travels abroad, he travels. I came to know later that it was Vijay Palande when my father had been murdered. "If I introduce you to Karan Sood, you will say that he is a very good and good man. I've never felt like doubting it. As soon as I met him, I shook hands. He was on his way to London at the time. He said, "See you later." He handed me four bottles of whisky. 'Come on, enjoy yourself, see you when I get back.' He introduced himself in a very friendly way that made me suspicious of him at all.' Anuj's father Arun Tikku had also met Vijay Anuj had introduced him to Vijay and Simran exactly two months before Arun Tikku's murder. When Arun comes to Delhi, Anuj takes him to Simran's house. Everyone ordered Chinese and had dinner together. They all talked for a long time. At that time, Karan Sood alias Vijay told Arun Tikku that he would soon join Anuj in the hotel business. While the investigation into the Arun Tikku murder was going on, the police found a suicide note in the bank locker of Vijay Palande. The note was signed by Anuj Tikku and also had his signature on it. Anuj was again under suspicion, after which many big questions arose. The first question is whether Anuj killed his father and then tried to commit suicide? Why was Anuj Tikku's suicide note in the locker of notorious criminal Vijay Palande? Third question: Did Vijay Palande and Simran kill Arun Tikku or were the servants responsible? Fourth question: Why did Vijay Palande and Simran suddenly become friends with Anuj? Fifth question: Did Vijay Palande really commit many murders even before the Anuj Tikku massacre? The answers to all these questions will be revealed tomorrow, February 13, in Part-2 of the Arun Tikku Murder Case, only on the Divya Bhaskar App. ……………………………………… Karan Sood (Vijay Palande) and Simran Sood have called Anuj Tikku the mastermind of their father's murder. He said that Anuj's relationship with his father was not good. He was a drug addict and many people from Samarth Angan Society had already complained against him. In such a situation, after receiving repeated complaints, Arun Tikku came to Mumbai to take them back to Delhi, but Anuj got his father killed to stay in Mumbai and grab the flat from his father. Read the full story tomorrow, in Part 2 of the Arun Tikku massacre. (Note: This story is based on interviews and research by actor Anuj Tikku and noted crime journalist Neeraj Agarwal.)
