Tragically, on November 27, 2022, a heated altercation between the couple escalated, culminating in Ghanshyam allegedly strangling Rajni to death.

Assisted by his brother, Ghanshyam then purportedly disposed of the victim’s remains along Kamptee Road. Following his apprehension, Ghanshyam had been held in custody pending trial.

Justice M W Chandwani presided over the case and subsequently approved the bail application after careful consideration of arguments presented by both the defense and prosecution. Advocates Mangesh Raut and Nazia Pathan skillfully represented the accused during the proceedings.
