Within nine hours of coming out of Arthur Road jail, a 32-year-old history-sheeter battered his wife to death for not visiting him when he was imprisoned in a theft case. The Sewri police arrested Naseem Ansari from Byculla three days after he committed the offence on March 1.

The night patrolling team of Sewri police recovered the body of Yasmin Bano, Ansari's wife near pillar number 136 of Eastern Expressway on the night of February 27. The body was rushed to JJ Hospital where doctors declared her dead. Deputy Commissioner of Police, Dr Rashmi Karandikar said, "We had formed four teams to trace the killer and establish the identity of the deceased. The team inquired in the nearby areas and finally identified the woman as Yasmin Banu, a resident of a slum pocket close to the crime spot."
