Overview

  • Ashish Karandikar, 50, was arrested for allegedly stabbing his sister, Anvya Karandikar-Paingankar, 45, during a heated argument in Vile Parle, Mumbai.
  • The dispute stemmed from their mother’s decision to transfer property rights to Anvya while Ashish had been living in Meghalaya for 15 years.
  • Anvya, a private school teacher, had returned to care for their mother and Ashish's children, which influenced the property transfer decision.
  • The siblings frequently argued over the redevelopment of their chawl, with tensions escalating on Friday morning when Ashish fatally attacked Anvya with a kitchen knife.
  • Juhu police responded swiftly, arresting Ashish at the scene, and have booked him for murder as investigations continue into the familial and property-related tensions.
