Mumbai lawyer murder cracked, guard arrested

Mumbai: The Mumbai police claim to have cracked the murder case of a female lawyer, Pallavi, who was found dead in the Wadala area of Mumbai on Thursday.

The police arrested Sajjad Pathan, a guard at the building, who reportedly confessed to have killed the female lawyer.

Pathan was reportedly angry with Pallavi as she had yelled at him a few days back.

Earlier on Thursday, a police officer had said that the woman's throat was slit and her neighbours had informed the police.

The police had taken Pallavi’s live-in partner into custody, following which he was questioned. He is also said to be from the legal fraternity.

The woman's father is said to be a Delhi-based IAS officer.
