Brother Blinded By The Greed To Be The Sole Owner Of Father’s Property Poisoned his Two Sisters

To get rid of his two single sisters, 36-year-old Ganesh Mohite from Navi Mumbai killed them both and falsely accused a relative of the crime. He was sick of providing for them and worried that they would take possession of their father’s property.

Having to spend his money on his sisters, Sneha, 30, and Sonali, 34, Ganesh, a clerk in the Palghar forest department, was tired of them. Furthermore, he feared that they might lay claim to their father’s possessions. He “planted” the notion that the relative had contaminated their drinking water, in the minds of the investigating authorities and his mother, taking his cue from the movie “Drishyam.”

When Mohite’s father, an officer of the forest department, died in an accident in 2009, the mother supported one of her daughters in the long dispute over who would take over the father’s position. Mohite was somehow able to persuade and reassure his family that he would provide for them in the event that he was hired after 2019. When at last they gave up, he started working for the Forest Service in 2021.

Between 2009 and 2019, Mohite used the assistance of a relative who lived next door in Revdanda, Raigad, the family’s original house, to discreetly withdraw his father’s pension and transfer his father’s property to himself. The sisters and the relative got into a violent altercation after they realized this, and as a result, the relative was charged with attempted murder. At that moment, Mohite had the bright idea to have the relative implicated in the murder he was plotting.

At Revdanda, where Mohite had brought his family for Navratri, on October 15, according to police inspector Balasaheb Khade of the local crime branch (LCB), Raigad, “he knew that if he killed his sisters in Palghar, he would be the suspect, but in Revdanda, he could plan the murder in such a way that the relative would be the suspect due to their history of dispute.”

Mohite prepared instant soup for his sisters on the day of the crime and added rat poison to it. He requested his mother to bring some drinking water, which was outside in a container on the porch after he finished the soup. He had never danced in a garba before, but he left to play the dance afterward.

Sonali called Mohite when he was at the event to let him know that she felt uneasy. Mohite brought her to Alibag Civil Hospital, where she passed away on October 17, after purposefully arriving late at home under the guise of “Garba”. Sneha had also by then started showing severe symptoms, so she was sent to MGM Hospital in Kamothe, where she passed away on October 20.

Mohite convinced his mother and Sneha, who lived until October 20, that their cousin had tampered with the drinking water in the verandah at this time. “He kept saying the same thing to his mother, sister, and the police, as shown in ‘Drishyam,’ and eventually everyone believed it,” Khade added. “Sneha and the mother both made statements disparaging the relative.”

The matter was turned over to the LCB on October 21. The relative had placed CCTV cameras outside their home, we discovered when questioning them, according to Khade. Nobody was interfering with the water, as far as we could see. Our realization that something was off was prompted by the CCTV footage and the mother’s lack of problems following her consumption of the same water. We discovered the fight between the siblings after doing an inquiry.

When Mohite’s phone was inspected by the police, they discovered 53 searches on “poisoning” between October 11 and October 14. The searches included keywords like “sweet poison,” “smell less poison,” and “how many days does a person take to die after consuming poison.” Rat poison pamphlets were also discovered by the cops in his vehicle. The accused is in police custody until October 25.
