Mumbai:
A man has been detained in the murder case of a 20-year-old girl, who was brutally stabbed to death in Maharashtra’s Navi Mumbai last week.
The victim, Yashashree Shinde, had been reported missing, and her body was found dumped in the bushes near a railway station in Navi Mumbai’s Uran on Saturday.
The man taken into custody by the Navi Mumbai police has been identified as Mohsin from Karnataka. Police got information from phone call details that he was in constant contact with Yashashree.
They are investigating his connection with the main accused.
Mohsin is likely to be brought to Uran today for further interrogation.
According to officials, the body bore multiple injury marks and stab wounds, indicating that she was murdered very brutally.
“Our initial investigation suggests the woman was murdered after a love affair went wrong. The girl’s boyfriend had also gone missing with the girl and is yet to be found. He is the primary suspect. A case of murder has been registered and five police teams have been formed to trace him,” an official had said.
She was a resident of Uran and used to work in Belapur, about 25 km away.
