Pressure Cooker Murder Case: Police Files Chargesheet Against Live-In Partner

The Mumbai police on Thursday filed the chargesheet in the murder of a woman whose body parts were boiled in a pressure cooker and roasted by her live-in partner in their rented apartment on the outskirts of Mumbai.

Advocate Atul Saroj, counsel for accused Manoj Sane (56) told media that the Mira-Bhayandar, Vasai-Virar police submitted the chargesheet in a magistrate’s court in Thane.

He further added that the court will frame charges against the accused in due course after which the hearing in the case will commence. However he said the contents of the chargesheet were immediately not known.

The case came to light in the first week of June this year after neighbours alerted the police about a foul odour coming from a flat where Sane and his live-in partner Saraswati Vaidya (34) lived in Naya Nagar area of Mira Road township in Thane district.

After breaking the door open, the police were stunned to discover Vaidya’s body parts, some cooked in a pressure cooker and even roasted, inside the flat.

As per the FIR filed by Mumbai Police, Sane killed the woman on June 4, chopped her body with a chainsaw and pressure-cooked and roasted a few pieces in his attempt to get rid of them. Sane has been booked by Mumbai police under Indian Penal Code sections 302 (murder) and 201 (destruction of evidence).

During the police custody, Sane told the investigation officer that Vaidya died of poisoning and he panicked and tried to dispose of the body.
