Barely 24 hours after 65-year-old Sehnaz Anis Qazi was found murdered at her flat in Ghatkopar’s Asalfa area, police arrested her step-daughter-in-law, Mumtaz Irfan Khan, 50, from Kurla. Investigations revealed the crime stemmed from property disputes and long-standing family discord.

Police said Mumtaz visited Qazi’s flat on Wednesday, November 26,  night under the pretext of meeting her. During the visit, she allegedly assaulted and killed the woman, fleeing with jewellery. The body was discovered after neighbours raised an alarm.
