A man, who was released from jail this week, has been arrested again for killing his mother-in-law. The accused, identified as Iqbal Abbas Shaikh, 42, has a total of 28 cases registered against him at various police stations across Mumbai.

After his release, Shaikh allegedly went to meet his wife at his mother-in-law Shamal Shyam Shigam’s home. However, when he went there, Shigam, 61, told him that her daughter had married again, and was pregnant. In a fit of rage, Shaikh attacked Shamal with a shovel and knife, killing her, said a police official, investigating the case. Her blood-stained body was found on Thursday near Pitlewadi.
