A police official said, the suspect identified as Rajkumar Singh has been absconding after the alleged incident two days ago, reported the PTI.
The incident took place at a high-rise in suburban Andheri.

He held the ends of the wires to the sides of her head, giving her a shock, and also bashed her up, she said in the complaint.
Her 11-year-old son who was in the next room came in hearing her screams, but she asked him to go back and lock himself inside as she feared Singh would harm the boy too, she told <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-crime-news/article/mumbai-9-year-old-child-dies-his-mother-injured-in-accident-eastern-expressway-23309773" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">police</a>.
