The Vishnu Nagar police in Dombivli have arrested a 28-year-old man for allegedly strangulating a 65-year-old woman to death during a burglary attempt to feed his addiction to online cricket betting.
The victim, retired government hospital worker Asha Arvind Raikar lived alone in her apartment at Vasant Niwas building, Dombivli West. According to the police, it was a neighbour who got suspicious when she saw Raikar’s door latched from outside on Thursday afternoon. At night, when the door still hadn’t been opened, she called Raikar and heard her mobile phone ringing inside, to no answer.
