According to the sources, Vinayak Karbotkar had maintained a very good rapport with Bengre in Colvale jail although he claims of previous enmity and fight at Calangute. Maybe this was his game plan to take revenge on Ashpak.

Although various speculations are in the air out of which one is the possibility of contract killing that cannot be ruled out in this case. According to the sources, Bengre’s hold in the coastal belt had not gone well with other criminals operating in the area and Ashpak was also instrumental the murder of Grover, an hotelier from in north Goa coastal belt. Crime Branch is investigating whether any other gangs or his victims had put out a contract to kill Bengre.

Another angle that coming forward, in this case, is, maintaining of superiority amongst the inmates which is the regular affairs in all the jails. The murder of Ashpak is also speculated as the fall out of superiority race in jail.
