He was immediately arrested and a team was sent on the spot. The victim was taken to Rajawadi hospital by the police, however, she was declared dead before arrival.

Mistry, before taking a profession of a gym trainer, worked in the Indian Army and even as a BEST Bus driver, the police sources said. A murder case has been registered against him.
