“There are two more accused in the case who used to threaten the girl. Police should investigate how was the girl lured by the men,” Somaiya claimed. However, the police have denied involvement of more people in the case except the two arrested already.
“Somaiya and the victim’s mother visited me as the mother wanted to know what exactly happened and I explained the same to her,” Navi Mumbai police commissioner Milind Bharambe said.
Police Inspector Confirms Sole Involvement In Murder
Uran senior police inspector Satish Nikam, said, “CCTV footage clearly shows only the victim and Ali in the car hence it is clear that no other person was involved in the killing. The accused had sought help from his friend to dispose of the body and he too was arrested.”
The police have also said that the murder had solely happened out of frequent arguments wherein the accused suspected the character of the victim.
