Veena had lodged multiple complaints against her son in the days leading up to her death. Police suspect that the murder may be linked to an ongoing property dispute in the family. Sachin was fighting a case against his mother in court over their property. Confirming the arrest, Senior Police Inspector Ajitkumar Dattatraya Vartak told The Indian Express, “Sachin was located in Juhu. After Sachin was caught and taken into custody for interrogation, he confessed to the crime, after which he took us to Matheran as he had disposed of her body there with Mandal’s help.”
