Mumbai: Sisters of woman whose body was chopped by live-in partner in Mira Road flat record statement with cops Fire breaks out in building in Mumbai's Kalbadevi, over 50 rescued, 1 injured
The sisters told the police that Vaidya and Sane had married in a temple.
Sane (56) who worked in a ration shop in Borivali lived with Vaidya (34) in a rented apartment in Geeta Akashdeep building in Mira Road.
Two days after the horrifying discovery of a 36-year-old woman's dismembered and cooked body parts inside a flat she shared with her live-in partner in Maharashtra's Thane district, the police took statements from her three sisters on Friday, an official said.
Manoj Sane (56), who allegedly strangled his 34-year-old live-in-partner Saraswati Vaidya in their rented flat in Mira Road on Sunday, purchased a chainsaw worth Rs 4,000 the same day and got down to slicing the body, which he then pressure-cooked and roasted on the gas stove. Police have recovered
Manoj Sane, accused of murdering his live-in partner, Saraswati Vaidya, tried to dispose of her body in a macabre manner. “Sane has claimed to have got ideas from the Shraddha Walkar case. But we have to get to the motive behind the crime,” said DCP Jayant Bajbale on Thursday.
The police say that Manoj Sane (56), who allegedly killed his live-in-partner Saraswati Vaidya (34), an orphan, in a rented Mira Road flat on Sunday told them during questioning that he took inspiration from the Shraddha Walkar murder case.
Residents of the building assumed them to be husband-wife. On Wednesday foul smell caught the residents' attention and they informed the police.
The flat was broken open to find multiple body parts in the kitchen and a bedroom. Sane, who had returned from outside, tried to flee but was arrested.
Sane told cops that Vaidya was an orphan. She lived in an orphanage in Ahmednagar till she turned 18. It is not known if her sisters stayed with her in the same orphanage.

The sisters who reside in Mumbai were in touch with Vaidya. The sisters identified the photograph of Vaidya and Sane and told cops the two had married in a temple and the siblings knew about it.
DCP Jayant Bajbale said the sisters’ DNA would be matched with the body parts to identify Vaidya. The body parts have been sent to J J hospital for examination. Sane had pressure cooked and roasted most of the body parts.
