Navi Mumbai: A 45-year-old woman was murdered after an unidentified person allegedly entered her residence and stabbed her with a sharp weapon in Turbhe village on Friday evening. The victim, Marjina Mandal (45), was found lying in a pool of blood inside her rented room in Sector 22, prompting the APMC police to register a murder case and launch a search for the accused.
Workers Raise Alarm
The incident came to light at around 6.50 pm when workers in the same building noticed Mandal lying motionless in her room and alerted the police. Officers from the APMC police station rushed to the spot, conducted a panchnama and sent the body for post-mortem examination.
