SUFFOLK COUNTY–A 32-year-old Bayshore delicatessen owner is charged with second degree criminal solicitation for trying to hire a hit man to murder his ex-girlfriend’s new love interest.
Suffolk District Attorney Thomas Spota said about one month ago, Rajinder Wadhwa of Alisa Lane, Bayshore met with an undercover detective posing as a killer-for-hire.
“Over the course of the investigation, the defendant met several times with the detective to discuss the plot and the financing of the killing, the total cost of which was set at $2,500,” said Spota. “The meetings to plan the murder were held at Wadhwa’s business, “Ronnie’s Deli” in Bayshore.”
Wadhwa said he wanted the murder to look like a robbery.
Wadhwa pleaded not guilty today in first district court and Judge Jennifer Henry set bail at $75,000 cash or $500,000 bond.
The identity of the intended victim and Wadhwa’s former girlfriend are not being released.
District Attorney Spota credited the SCDA’s Special Investigations Bureau for the month-long investigation that led to the defendant’s arrest. 10-23-09
