The crime branch of Mumbai police today claimed to have solved the murder of a 25 years old woman, whose body had been found on the railway tracks here, with the arrest of one person from Jharkhand.
Her husband, the main accused, is still absconding.
Railway police had found the body of an unknown woman on the tracks between suburban Borivali and Kandivali on November 14. She was found to have been strangulated.
During the investigation she was identified as Priyanka alias Soni Dinesh Verma (25), resident of Bihari Tekdi, Kandivali (East).
Crime branch officers learnt that she had reportedly gone to her village in Jharkhand with the husband Dinesh Verma and their eight years old daughter.
A police team arrested Gautamkumar Baleshwar Gupta (21) from Hazaribagh in Jharkhand yesterday who allegedly confessed that he helped Dinesh kill Priyanka at their Kandivali residence and the body was later dumped on the railway tracks.
According to the police, Dinesh suspected Priyanka to be having an extra-marital affair, so he murdered her.
Dinesh was absconding and his daughter and a woman named Phoolmati, said to be his second wife, were apparently with him, police said. Further probe was on.
