Recent Murder Reported In Navi Mumbai

The discovery comes days after Navi Mumbai Police cracked the murder of a 66-year-old woman whose body was found stuffed inside a sack in the Turbhe area.

In that case, Turbhe Police arrested 38-year-old Mobin Noor Mohammad Qureshi within 24 hours of the body's recovery. Cops alleged that Qureshi murdered Azarunnisa Abdul Wahid Khan, 66, to rob her gold jewellery and clear mounting debts.

According to police, Khan had left her home on May 18 to buy vegetables but never returned. Her body was later found stuffed in a sack in Shivshakti Nagar. Investigators used CCTV footage, technical surveillance and local intelligence to identify and arrest the accused.

Police said Qureshi allegedly lured the victim to his residence on the pretext of offering her tea before attempting to snatch her jewellery. When she resisted and raised an alarm, he allegedly strangled her to death before disposing of the body.
