The Special Investigation Team (SIT) formed to crack the murder case of a woman whose torso was found in Ghatkopar last month has claimed to have solved it. The police detained 25-year-old Sohail Sheikh from Kirol Village, Ghatkopar West, on Wednesday afternoon. The deceased is the mother of Sohail. She was reportedly upset over his joblessness and used to complain about it. Sohail allegedly murdered his mother on the evening of December 28 after both had a fight over his drinking problem.

The woman's mutilated torso was found on the morning of December 30 near the state transport workshop in Ghatkopar. A day later, the police found both the legs and hands of the deceased in a garbage dump near Fatima High School in Vidyavihar.
