According to the police,at 8:45 p.m on March 25,when Preeti Shekhar Anchal (22),who is a traffic assistant with the Universal Aviation Private Ltd at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, was leaving for home after the work,Chavan accosted her.

“Anchal used to work for Chavan at his mobile phone office for about six months,during which he claims he got to know her well. He is a married man,who has left his wife. Chavan fell in love with Anchal and on the day of the attack,he asked her to marry him. The victim told him that she didn’t want to see him again,and asked him not to talk to her anymore. Enraged at this,Chavan took out a knife and slit her throat before stabbing her on the stomach,” said Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Rakesh Maria.

Anchal was rushed to the Holy Spirit Hospital in Andheri (East). She was in the Intensive Care Unit from March 25 to 30. “We were on the lookout for Chavan,and had even sent a team to Pune in search of him. Acting on a tip-off,unit 9 of the Crime Branch arrested him from a friend’s house where he had been hiding for the past few days. We will be handing him over to the MIDC police for further investigation,” said Maria.
