The Mumbai police arrested a man who was on the run after he allegedly murdered a bank manager with whom he was in relationship for the last three months. The couple had met on a social media site in September 2023 and the friendship bloomed into a relationship. The police are trying to ascertain the reason for their relationship going sour and the man committing the gruesome murder.

Though the murder had taken place in a hotel in Navi Mumbai on Monday, it was on Tuesday that the Mumbai police arrested the suspect identified as Shohaib Shaikh, 24. The police had received a tip-off on Tuesday that a man who had murdered a woman was in Saki Naka and about to flee to his village.
