Avinash Tiwari, who died in an acid attack, could have been targeted for having affairs with multiple women, said the Palghar police on Friday. The police said the 41-year-old, who was married, was in close relationships with three women.

'To teach a lesson'
The police said they checked Tiwari's call record and found that he was in constant touch with three women. "Someone wanting to teach him a lesson must have committed the crime," said a police official from Palghar crime branch.
