The officials of Crime Branch Unit XI got a big jolt after they learned the murder case accused that has been in the wanted list since 20 years, has passed away. The crime branch has been looking for the accused of more than 3 months. As per the list of the wanted cases from superiors of the crime branch unit XI, the accused Bhaskarrao Krishnamurti Kombatula, (44), allegedly murdered his wife and fled from Goregaon, Mumbai in the year 1998, said the police sources.

After 20 years, the Mumbai crime branch Unit XI official finally got some lead, but they returned empty-handed because the same accused had died 8 years back. According to the crime branch, Kombatula killed his wife and fled from Mumbai, a case was registered under section 302 of IPC against him in the Goregaon police station in 1998.

Kombatula who was fed up with daily flights killed her and fled from Mumbai.  Since then, the Goregaon police have been looking for him, but they did not find any lead. Recently, the police issued the list of wanted accused from the various police stations in Zone XI, after the instructions from the seniors, this list was given to the Crime branch unit XI too.
