MUMBAI, Aug. 20 -- The Pant Nagar police probing the murder of 35-year-old Sapna Ganji in Ghatkopar East found that her mother-in-law allegedly hired a former domestic help for Rs.3 lakh to kill her, with the maid roping in her husband, daughter and son to carry out the plan, police said. All five accused have been arrested, police said. The victim, Sapna Ganji, lived with her 10-year-old son, Shivansh, at Triveni Building in Laxmi Nagar, Ghatkopar East. Her husband, Pramod works with an information technology company in Dubai, while Sapna had returned to India in June with their son. The murder initially came to light after Sapna's mother-in-law, Dhanalaxmi Ganji, allegedly told her parents that Sapna had died after falling in the bathroom. Sapna's father, Rajendra Vallal, a tailor from Nallasopara, reached Rajawadi Hospital and noticed several injuries on his daughter's body, prompting him to suspect foul play. Rajendra told police that Dhanalaxmi held a grudge against Sapna after she had filed a harassment case against her in-laws in 2024. Following his complaint, the Pant Nagar police registered a case under relevant sections of the BNS and arrested Dhanalaxmi. A post-mortem examination later confirmed that Sapna had died of strangulation. Investigators later examined CCTV footage and found that several people had entered the building around 4.30pm on Sunday. "During questioning, Dhanalaxmi admitted to hatching a plan to kill her daughter-in-law," a police officer said. Dhanalaxmi told investigators that Sapna was a habitual drinker and that the family suspected her of having an affair. Police said Dhanalaxmi subsequently contacted her former domestic help, Mangala Jadhav, 45, and offered her Rs.3 lakh to help kill Sapna. Mangala allegedly then brought her husband Suresh Jadhav, 46, daughter Shivani Jadhav, 21, and son Sajjan Jadhav, 19, into the plan. The four allegedly entered Sapna's apartment when she was drinking. The accused allegedly then used a dupatta to strangle Sapna....
