PANAJI: The main accused in the chilling Betalbatim gangrape case and history-sheeter, Ishwar Makhwana, escaped from police custody in Panaji in the early hours of Monday. Police suspect Makhwana is the prime accused in the murder of a teenage couple — Shreya Joshi and Himanshi Sen — in Nakudi Kund waterfalls in Madhya Pradesh in November 2017. Police believe that Joshi was killed because she recognised Makwana, since they are from the same village. Makwana was arrested, but escaped and fled to Goa. The couple’s disappearance had been a cold case for six months.
