A family of four has been arrested for allegedly killing the daughter-in-law, whose body was found in a rented flat in Boisar, Palghar district, by the landlord. The accused had fled to Haryana and had been paying rent, but when they stopped, the owner went to clean the flat before finding a new tenant and found the body.

Palghar police sources said the landlord found the body of the 20-year-old Bulbul Jha in a plastic drum on July 19, and immediately informed the cops. In the initial investigation, police discovered that the husband and the in-laws had killed her and fled to Haryana.
