Priya Bagde

 

 

An investigation into the murder of 25-year-old Priya Bagde revealed that she had been in contact with a person living in the United Kingdom (UK), with whom she was virtually married and had changed her name to Priya Gluck. This revelation has shocked the police, who are delving deeper into the case. According to police officials, Priya was active on Facebook and met 70-year-old John Gluck through social networking sites in 2023. Since then, they had been continuously chatting, and their relationship blossomed to the point where they virtually married and frequently engaged in video calls. The relationship progressed to the point where John began sending money to Priya for her monthly maintenance.

 

Officials claimed that John was sending more than Rs 20,000 per month to Priya. The police discovered that John was a retired individual living alone in the United Kingdom. They are currently searching for his address to continue their investigation. Officials also reported that Mahesh Keshavrao Wadaskar, the owner of the Turning Point hotel and lodge in Ramtek, was upset upon learning of Priya’s connection with John. It was particularly demoralizing for him that Priya changed her Facebook profile name from Priya Bagde to Priya Gluck. It is noteworthy that Priya was brutally murdered by Wadaskar, a resident of Sakkardara, on August 16 at his hotel. He later disposed of her body about five kilometers away from Ramtek town. The police have produced Wadaskar in court and obtained a five-day police custody order. 

 

Mankapur Police have exhumed Priya Bagde’s body, which was buried by Wadaskar, and sent it for a post-mortem. Officials suspect that more individuals might be involved in the murder, as it seems unlikely that a single person could have dug a large pit and buried the body alone.
