Mumbai– The Mumbai police are tasked with deciding whether Saraswati Vaidya, a resident of Mira Road, was killed or committed suicide in a horrible and puzzling case. Forensic experts have been presented with multiple small body parts, some of which were partially boiled or roasted, making it challenging to gather conclusive evidence, according to police officials.
While there is a slim possibility that the Forensic Science Laboratory may detect traces of poison in certain fat tissues or bones collected during the autopsy, it remains nearly impossible to establish whether Vaidya willingly ingested the poison or was coerced into doing so.
The possibility that Manoj Sane, Vaidya’s live-in boyfriend and the main suspect in her murder, may be found guilty of the less serious charge of destroying evidence, which carries a penalty of two to five years in jail, worries the police. Without sufficient evidence to prove murder, legal experts suggest that Sane could be booked under IPC sections 201 (disappearance of evidence of an offense or giving false information to screen an offender) and 306 (abetment to suicide).
The body parts, which were meticulously chopped, boiled, and roasted by Sane, were cremated following the completion of the autopsy. DNA samples from Vaidya and her sisters have been sent to forensic laboratories for analysis. At the same time, investigators continue to unravel the shocking events in the Geeta Akashdeep building.
As the investigation unfolds, the tragic fate of Saraswati Vaidya remains shrouded in mystery, leaving the authorities grappling with a perplexing and disturbing case that has sent shockwaves through the community.
