She hired the house maid and her family to kill her daughter-in-law
On Sunday night, 35-year-old Sapna Ghanji was discovered dead with injuries at her home in Ghatkopar. Her mother-in-law, Dhanlaxmi Ghanji, 65, was initially arrested and charged with her murder. Dhanlaxmi had allegedly hired four people - her domestic help Mangala Jadhav, 21, and her husband Suresh, along with Sapna's daughter Shivani, 21, and son Sajan, 19 - to commit the crime.
Dhanlaxmi, who was upset with Sapna over past incidents, including an FIR filed by Sapna and allegations of an extramarital affair and alcohol addiction, promised the killers Rs 3 lakh. Police found CCTV footage and phone records linking the accused to the crime.
