Woman Strangled During Alleged Robbery by Tenant in South MumbaiPreviousNext

A 55-year-old house help, Jyoti Pawar, was allegedly strangled to death by her 23-year-old tenant-neighbour, Khaif Shaikh, in south Mumbai's Malabar Hill area during an attempted robbery. Shaikh, who reportedly suffered losses in the share market, told police he intended to steal Pawar's gold chain. The crime came to light when Pawar failed to report for work, prompting an investigation involving CCTV footage and local inquiries. Police are also investigating possible involvement of others.
