The murder case of a woman whose body was found stuffed in a gunny bag in Nehru Nagar has been solved with the arrest of three women, a Mumbai police official said on Friday.
They were arrested from Kurla East on Thursday evening after a probe began following the body of the woman being found a day earlier from a drain, he added.
"The deceased was in a relationship with the husband of one of the accused. She was strangled and then her body stuffed in a gunny bag, which was thrown into a drain near Buntara Bhavan," he said.
"We checked CCTV footage of the vicinity and arrested two women who are siblings. The main accused, her sister and a friend killed the woman in the early hours of October 1," the official informed.
