A joint investigation team from the Thane crime branch and Nagpur police apprehended a thirty-two-year-old woman on October 5, 2026, ending a six-week inter-district manhunt following the alleged murder of her husband at their residence in Nagpur. The accused had been evading police surveillance across multiple states by regularly switching mobile handsets, utilizing fictitious identities, and taking shelter in temporary rental accommodations.
According to police investigators, the gruesome homicide came to light in late August when municipal sanitation workers discovered the victim’s body wrapped in synthetic tarpaulin near an isolated drainage canal on Nagpur’s outskirts. Forensic analysis and autopsy findings established that the deceased had succumbed to severe head trauma caused by blunt-force impacts followed by manual strangulation.
Thane police officials confirmed that the suspect broke down during preliminary custodial interrogation, admitting her complicity in the conspiracy alongside an alleged accomplice who was previously arrested in Wardha. Judicial magistrates granted transit remand to transfer the accused back to Nagpur, where investigating officers will reconstruct the crime scene and recover weapons used in the assault.
