"Recently, on the birthday of the victim, the accused had visited her home to greet her. But her stepmother objected to his presence and asked him whether he was worthy of marrying her daughter. Annoyed over it, he hatched a conspiracy to eliminate her and executed his plan on July 4," a police official said. The victim worked in the conservancy department of the Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC).
Her family members carried out a search to trace her, but in vain. Later, a missing person's report was filed at Kalyan taluka police station, he said, adding that Dalvi was arrested after her body was found. A local court has remanded Dalvi in police custody till July 17.
