Late Sunday night a 60-year-old woman was found lying in a pool of blood at her house at Varsha Society, Jagruti Nagar, Kurla East. Nehru Nagar police said on Monday they have arrested a 22-year-old nephew of the deceased in connection with "what appears to be a murder committed with intention to loot".

Jewellery worth nearly R6 lakh was stolen from the almirah of Zarina Begum Shaikh, the deceased, police said. Zarina's body was found around 11.30 pm by her daughter Rihana Shaikh. She had first come around 10 pm, but left on seeing the locked door. She returned later and opened the lock, only to find her dead mother. A police officer said Zarina's son lives in Pune, while Rihana stays nearby and used to bring food and medicine for her mother every day.
