Kanhaiya Kumar Pandey, 21, the alleged killer of 63-year-old Jyoti Shah, had been hired recently based on a reference from his father, a security guard. The youth was arrested by the Malabar Hill police at Bhusawal Junction railway station on Wednesday evening after his father was taken into custody. The accused had allegedly strangled Shah, a resident of Malabar Hill whose husband owns a jewellery shop at Nariman Point. Her body was found in the bedroom of her flat on Tuesday.
The police have learnt that Pandey’s police verification had not been completed and that two diamond bangles were missing from the house. The youth, a resident of Sitamarhi city in Bihar, had completed his HSC and was in search of a job. His father has been working as a security guard in a society neighbouring the one in which the Shah family resides for the past few years.
