According to Police, the girl’s father had fixed his daughter’s wedding to another man in March and had also printed invitation cards. But since Meenakshi refused to get married and eloped with Brijesh, all the efforts went in vain. For her father, Meenakshi’s marriage with Brijesh had brought shame to his family as villagers taunted him about his daughter not obeying him.
On Sunday, the police questioned Rajkumar where he initially claimed he was in Chembur when the incident happened. During the questioning, the man reacted violently which increased the suspicion. On Saturday evening, the man asked Meenakshi to meet him in Ghatkopar saying he wanted to give her money to buy new clothes. When they met, he attacked her with a sharp weapon on her neck and head. According to investigations, the man killed his daughter at around 9.30pm on Saturday, but her body was found by passersby the next day.
