28 Nov
Summary
- Man found dead with head injury in Andheri, Mumbai.

- Accused caught on train to Uttar Pradesh.
A shocking murder case unfolded in Mumbai when a 28-year-old man, Mohit Soni, was discovered dead with a head injury. The police investigation quickly pointed to a motive rooted in a complex personal relationship, revealing that the victim's cousin, Manoj Soni, was romantically involved with Mohit's wife.
Manoj, along with an accomplice, allegedly lured Mohit to an isolated spot after ensuring he was intoxicated, then fatally assaulted him. The swift apprehension of the suspects was a testament to the police's meticulous work, involving the analysis of 15 crucial phone calls and extensive CCTV footage review. The accused were intercepted on a train heading towards Uttar Pradesh.
The police team successfully tracked the suspects' movements from the crime scene to Bandra Terminus, where they boarded the train. A diversion of a police team already in Uttar Pradesh led to the arrests of Manoj and his aide before they could reach their home district. Further interrogation is expected to clarify the wife's potential involvement.
