Man Arrested for Alleged Murder of Son-in-Law's Second Wife in Mumbai
Mumbai police arrested 50-year-old Mohammed Sartaz for allegedly strangling Rukhsana Siddique, the second wife of his son-in-law Saqib Siddique, and dumping her body near Bandra Kurla Complex. Sartaz confessed to the murder, reportedly motivated by tensions over the second marriage. His son, who allegedly assisted in the crime, remains at large. The case emerged after Saqib filed a missing person report in late September, leading to the discovery of Rukhsana's body in a decomposed state.
