Locals at Davdi village in the Dombivali East area alerted the police after spotting a man's body in a well on Thursday.
The official said the body was tied to a stone and had wounds on the back and neck caused by sharp weapons. It was later identified as that of Lobanshi.
The Manpada police in Dombivali on Friday registered a murder case. Investigations are underway to identify those who committed the murder and the motive behind the crime, said the station house officer of the police station.
