Following this police registered a case of murder and started investigation and they received inputs that the girl was last seen with accused Abhishek on a Pulsar motorbike who was later arrested from Karond Chouraha based on tip-off from an informer.
When he was quizzed he broke down and confessed to his crime. He told police that on Tuesday he took the girl for outing in old city and later they went to Boat Club at night.
