On November 13, 2025, the police received a call about an unidentified dead body of a woman found in the bushes alongside the Mumbai-Ahmedabad National Highway (NH48). The Talasari police registered a murder case and launched an investigation.
The deceased was identified as Afsana Khan, a 25-year-old resident of Uttar Pradesh, who had married a 43-year-old truck driver named Sakirali Mansuri from Surat. The couple had gotten married when Mansuri had visited his native place in Uttar Pradesh.
While they were staying in Surat, Mansuri learned about his wife's alleged extramarital affairs, and the couple frequently quarreled. Last week, Mansuri took Afsana to a secluded spot under the pretext of going out, where he strangled her with her long scarf. He then dumped her body and fled the scene.
