<p>The woman's body was found in the early hours of Saturday and police believe she was killed sometime between 3:30 pm and 4:30 pm on Friday, when she had taken half-day leave from her Navi Mumbai office.</p>
<p>"Teams have been sent out to arrest the accused. We are investigating the murder from all angles," Deputy Commissioner of Police Vivek Pansare told PTI.</p>

<p>Irate kin said the victim's father had filed a police complaint against this man in 2019 for harassing his daughter and the murder was an act of revenge over that issue.</p>
