A man was arrested in Mumbai for allegedly killing his friend and chopping his body into pieces before dumping it at the Gorai beach. The accused, Mohammad Sattar, was arrested from a slum in Bhayandar area in neighbouring Thane district. The police found that the deceased was in a relationship with the sister of the accused, which the latter did not like. The victim's body parts were recovered in four plastic bags on Sunday. Sattar allegedly killed the victim by slitting his throat on October 31 night and cut the corpse into seven pieces before dumping them at the Gorai beach.

More than a year after a woman's body was recovered from a creek in Thane district, police have found that she was pushed to death from a bridge by her lover for resisting his sexual advances. The 23-year-old victim, identified as Mansi Bhoir, had disappeared in November last year. Police have arrested two accomplices of the main accused, who is already in jail in a separate case. The case was cracked after the police investigated another woman's murder case and identified the victim based on a tattoo and other features. The investigation revealed that the accused, Adil Sheikh, was frequently in touch with Mansi before her disappearance and was in the vicinity of the Kalwa creek on the night of November 4, when Bhoir's body was found. The police said that during their meeting, Sheikh pushed Mansi off the bridge after she resisted his sexual advances. He then called two associates who helped him push Mansi to death from the pillar. Her body was discovered some kilometres away. The two accomplices have been arrested, while the main accused is already in jail for attempted murder.
