Overview
- Police say the 38-year-old woman was attacked at her home and was discovered dead after her daughters returned, with authorities tracing the incident back to Sunday.
- A preliminary medical report cited head injury rather than an electric shock, and officers say the victim had burns consistent with a room heater and blunt-force trauma from a heavy object.
- The accused, identified by MIDC Police as 33-year-old Javed Sheikh Shahid Manyar, fled by train to Jalgaon and was arrested there before being remanded to police custody until October 17.
- Police say the two had a roughly 15-year relationship and that repeated disputes over the woman pressing the accused to marry her while he was already married formed the alleged motive.
- Investigators continue forensic and criminal inquiries and the family — including the woman’s husband and two daughters, aged 11 and 13 — face an ongoing process of legal and emotional fallout.
