August 06, 2024

Two persons were arrested for allegedly murdering a man, stuffing the body in a trolley bag and carting it to Dadar railway station for disposal, a police official said on Monday. 

The accused and victim are speech and hearing impaired and knew each other, the official said, adding the crime was detected in four hours. 

"The incident came to light when a Railway Protection Force constable noticed a man with the big trolley bag on platform no 11. He was taken into custody on suspicion and the body was found after the bag was searched. A probe found the body was of Arshad Ali Sadique Ali Shaikh (30), a resident of Kalina in Santacruz," he said. 

"He was bludgeoned to death with a hammer. Since the murder took place in Pydhonie, the case has been transferred there," the Dadar railway police official said. -- PTI
