After inquiring about a few dealers it was found the woman had purchased the trunk from a Dharavi based dealer on April 30. We then gathered details including contact number and address of the woman.

Yadav allegedly confessed the crime to be committed with the help of her brother Vijay Bhallare, 22," said Chandrakant Jadhav, senior police inspector, Shil-daighar police station.

The police said Yadav along with his brother had killed Manish Yadav, 30. "Anita and Manish were having an affair for the last two years.

They killed him with a hammer and packed him in a trunk. They hired an auto-rickshaw and dropped the trunk near the creek at night and returned home," said a police officer.
