Chops Body into Pieces…
In Mumbai, Police arrested a man for killing his live-in partner and chopping up her corpse.
The victim, identified as 32-year-old Saraswati Vaidya, was found in her apartment on the seventh floor of a building in Geeta Nagar, Mira Road, late Wednesday, according to a senior official at the Naya Nagar police station.
Vaidya was living with her partner, named Manoj Sane, aged 56, in a live-in relationship for the past three years, the official said.
The couple had been living in the rented apartment.
Police were alerted to the gruesome scene by residents of the building, who complained of an unpleasant odor coming from Vaidya and Sane's apartment, the official said.
Upon arrival, officers discovered Vaidya's decomposed body, which had been cut into multiple pieces.
"An initial investigation revealed that the woman was brutally killed," Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) of Mumbai, Jayant Bajbale, said.
Authorities have arrested Sane over the horrifying incident.
The exact motive for the crime is yet to be disclosed by investigators.
The investigation is currently going on, as officials work to piece together the circumstances leading up to Vaidya's violent death.
"The situation is deeply troubling, and we are committed to finding justice for Ms. Vaidya," Mr. Bajbale said.
"We urge the public to come forward with any information they may have to aid in our investigation."
