As Grant Road killer Chetan Gala’s wife had left him and taken their children along with her due to various issues, he had approached his community’s secretary seeking help.

In February, Gala wrote to the Shri Vagad Visa Oswal Chovisi Mahajan secretary about their problems. Shri Vagad Visa Oswal Chovisi Mahajan Secretary Arvind Sawla said, “We help families solve their issues. We had received a letter from Chetan Gala about his wife leaving their home with their kids, and their issues. He had requested us to intervene so that his wife, Aruna, and kids return home. He also told us that he had a shop called Matching Palace at Raja Rammohan Roy Road at Girgaon but due to COVID-19 he shut it. He used to earn lakhs of rupees but his income became zero due to the pandemic. In his letter Gala had also mentioned this as one of the reasons that his wife left home.”
