Reminiscences of the horrifying Shraddha Walkar murder case came back when decomposing body parts were removed from a home in Mumbai in plastic bags and bedsheets. In that case, a man was arrested for killing his live-in partner, chopping up her body, and even boiling some bits in a pressure cooker.
According to a senior official at the Naya Nagar police station, the victim, 32-year-old Saraswati Vaidya, was discovered in her apartment on the seventh floor of a residential building in the Geeta Nagar neighbourhood on Mira Road late on Wednesday.
According to the official, Vaidya had been in a live-in relationship with her lover, Manoj Sane, 56, for the previous three years. During that time, the couple had been residing in the rented apartment.
According to the official, building residents who noticed a foul smell emanating from Vaidya and Sane's flat called the police to report the scene.
Officers arrived and found Vaidya's decomposing body, which had been cut up into several parts. The woman was brutally murdered, according to Mumbai's Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Jayant Bajbale.
The official claimed that Vaidya and Sane's apartment building neighbours had called the police to report the gruesome scene after smelling something nasty coming from it. When officers arrived, they discovered Vaidya's dismembered, rotting body.
Authorities have taken Sane into custody since the terrible tragedy. The potential crime's motivation has not yet been made public by investigators.
Officials are still trying to piece together the events that led up to Vaidya's horrific death, thus the inquiry is still open. According to Sane, Vidya committed suicide, the police reported.
The issue is extremely worrisome, and we are dedicated to bringing Ms. Vaidya's case to justice, according to Mr. Bajbale. We kindly request that anyone with information who can help with our inquiry come forward.
The murder of Shraddha Walkar, which shocked the nation last year, has uncanny resemblance to the current tragedy. (PB/NewsGram)
