The police on June 7 recovered the chopped body parts of 32-year-old Saraswati Vaidya from the seventh floor flat of Akashdeep building in Mira Road (East), where she resided with her ‘live-in’ partner and accused Manoj Sane (56).
It is suspected she was murdered on June 4 after which Sane allegedly stuffed her body parts in buckets, boiled and roasted some of the flesh and also fed it to dogs to dispose of evidence of the crime.
Wagh met Deputy Commissioner of Police Jayant Bajbale and said the probe into the gruesome incident was proceeding in the right direction.
