As per the FIR, the victim, Joginder Mahto, 44, a resident of Santacruz East, works as a cab driver. He is a married man and has two sons aged 10 and 14. He was reportedly in a relationship with Kanchan Mahto, who is his sister’s sister-in-law.

However, she allegedly continued to call him repeatedly, pressuring him to return to Mumbai and marry her, and allegedly threatened him with dire consequences if he refused.
