The police took a proactive approach, sharing her photos on WhatsApp groups in the nearby area, and mobilized 12 teams from the port zone to investigate the crime.

Through diligent work and investigation, the police located the woman in a house. The accused, Mohammad Sayeed (27), had invited Sugrabi Mulla to his residence by telling her, "Khalla Ghar aao, Chai piyo" (Come uncle, have tea). Mulla knew the accused and entered his residence.

However, once inside, Mohammad Sayeed physically assaulted the woman, striking her over the head twice with an iron rod. He then placed her lifeless body in a gunny bag and threw it from his building. Later, under the cover of darkness, he dragged the body to a deserted area and set it ablaze.

"Preliminary evidence suggests that Mohammad acted alone in the crime. Our Crime Detection Team, led by Police Inspector Vikas Mhahumkar and other dedicated officers, worked tirelessly to apprehend the accused within just five days," stated Senior Police Inspector Milind Jadhav of the Wadala police station.

Mohammad Sayeed, who allegedly has no prior criminal record, has been arrested will be produced before a court. The police investigation continues to uncover all the details surrounding this tragic incident, the police said.
