Police were alerted to the gruesome scene by residents of the building, who complained of an unpleasant odour wafting from the apartment.
Decomposing body parts carried out of a home in Thane near Mumbai in plastic bags and bedsheets brought back memories of the grisly Shraddha Walkar murder case, as police arrested a man for killing his live-in partner and chopping up her corpse.
The victim, identified as 36-year-old Saraswati Vaidya, was found in her apartment on the seventh floor of a residential building in the Mira-Bhayandar area late Wednesday, according to a senior official at the Naya Nagar police station.
Vaidya was living with her partner, Manoj Sahani, 56, in a live-in relationship for the past three years, the official said. The couple had been residing in the rented flat during that time.
Police were alerted to the gruesome scene by residents of the building, who complained of an unpleasant odour wafting from Vaidya and Sahani's apartment, the official said.
