BJP's Sanjay Sawant, wife and daughter arrested after secretary's death
Sanjay Sawant, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legal cell office-bearer and advocate, along with his wife and her minor daughter, have been arrested after their office secretary was found dead in Sawant's Chandan Nagar office.
The victim went missing on April 16, and her husband later discovered her body hidden in a sack at the office.
Trio face murder conspiracy tampering charges
Police say Sawant's wife suspected he was having an affair with the secretary. Acting on this suspicion, she and her minor daughter confronted the woman at the office.
Things turned violent: they allegedly restrained her and fatally attacked her with blunt objects before trying to cover up what happened.
All three now face charges of murder, conspiracy, and tampering with evidence. The daughter's role is being reviewed under juvenile law, while police are still looking into how much Sawant himself was involved in hiding evidence.
