The accused, identified as 27-year-old Dolrin Afrin Ahmed Khan from Nallasopara, had allegedly strangled 23-year-old Pradeep Dayashankar Rai to death in Arnala on February 12, 2020. Police said she later staged the crime scene to make it appear as a suicide. Preliminary investigation indicated a financial dispute between the two as the motive.

An FIR was filed under Sections 302 and 201 of the IPC. Since Khan had gone missing, police filed a chargesheet under Section 299 of the CrPC, allowing proceedings in her absence. Following months of surveillance, officers traced her to Kandivali and arrested her on October 10. She has been handed over to Arnala police for further inquiry.
