A 34-year-old costume designer has been arrested for allegedly killing his 28-year-old former girlfriend in Naigaon and disposing of her body in Valsad in Gujarat. The killer apparently rode with the body in the front of his scooter in a trolley bag with his wife riding pillion carrying their one-year-old baby.
Manohar Shukla, the alleged killer, had been in a relationship with the deceased Nayna Mahant — a hairdresser working for soap operas on a freelance basis in Naigaon. She was killed on August 9, the eve of her birthday, at her flat in Naigaon East. Nayna’s elder sister Jaya disclosed that Shukla cheated on Nayna and got married to another woman, Purnima, in 2019. She further claimed, “The killer had been planning to kill Nayna since 2019.” Police sources revealed that Nayna wanted to marry Shukla and had been in touch with him even after learning he was already married.
