Father held for cutting up daughter

The Nagpada police claim to have solved the sensational murder of a 18-year-old girl from Cuffe Parade, Menajbanu Mohammad Khan, whose body was hacked into 11 pieces before being dumped in gunny bags under the JJ flyover in April. Father of the girl Mohammad Munna Sardar Khan was arrested for the murder while his wife and son were arrested for helping him dispose of the body.

“The girl’s father was against her relationship with a local Hindu boy who lived in the Ambedkar Nagar Transit Camp at Cuffe Parade. Even her nose and cheeks were gouged out to make the body unrecognisable,” senior police inspector K Durafe said.
