The Kalachowkie police, who are probing the death of Lalbaug resident Veena Jain, have filed a charge sheet in the case, booking the 55-year-old’s daughter Rimple Jain for her murder. While autopsy had found evidence of strangulation, the forensic examination has revealed that she died of head injury, which cops said was caused by a paver block and hammer.
According to cops, Rimple smashed her mother’s head with a paver block and a hammer, to ensure she dies. The 24-year-old accused then chopped her mother’s body, they said. The Kalachowkie police filed the 350-page charge sheet.
The police recovered Veena’s fully decomposed body parts on March 14. Based on evidence—two marble cutters, a sickle, a hammer, knives and a paver block—collected at the time, police had filed a murder case against Rimple. But, she had claimed that Veena fell down from the first floor of the building while going to the toilet on December 27, 2022, and died. She chopped her body for disposal, as she feared being blamed for her death, Rimple had claimed.
