20 People Have Given Statements in the Mira Road Murder, According to Police

More than 20 people have provided statements to the Mira-Bhayandar, Vasai-Virar police in Maharashtra in connection with the shocking discovery of a 32-year-old woman’s chopped, pressure-cooked, and roasted body parts at an apartment outside of Mumbai.

Manoj Sane (56) has been detained for reportedly murdering victim Saraswati Vaidya and dismembering her corpse at their leased room on the 7th floor in the Thane neighborhood’s Mira Road.

Until June 16, Sane will remain in police custody.

The procedure to retrieve the items in the case is under progress, according to Jayant Bajbale, deputy commissioner of police for Zone I. 20 people’s comments have so far been recorded, he said.

Vaidya’s DNA samples and those of her family members have been gathered for matching. The source said that on Monday, police turned over Vaidya’s remains to her sisters, who carried out her last rites.

According to authorities, the accused and victim’s chat and phone logs are also being reviewed.

Sane is accused of poisoning Vaidya to death, then slicing up her corpse and roasting and pressure-cooking the pieces. According to a representative, he reportedly purchased pesticides from a store in the western neighborhood of Borivali.

Although it is believed that the murder occurred on June 4, it was first discovered on June 7 when police forced open the door of the couple’s apartment at the Akashdeep building on Mira Road (East) after neighbors reported smelling something bad coming from within.

Vaidya allegedly drank poison to commit suicide, while Sane, who worked at a ration store, simply attempted to dispose of her corpse by slicing it up.

The suspect reportedly admitted to investigators that he had HIV and had no physical contact with Vaidya. Additionally, he said that Vaidya was his wife and not a roommate.
