The two were in a relationship, and the woman’s mother alleged that he harassed her, which drove her to take the extreme step. The case was filed the same day.

Relationship Details Emerge

According to the FIR, the deceased, Sadhana Chauhan, lived in Kandivali West with her mother, Chandra Chauhan, 46. Sadhana worked at a salon, and her mother is a domestic helper.

The next day, her mother left for work around 9 am. Sadhana told her that she would go to the salon. After her mother left, Zuber arrived at Sadhana’s residence. Neighbours later told her mother that the two were arguing loudly. Zuber eventually left the house.

Tragic Discovery
