The man took money from her on several occasions and did not return it. This led to frequent quarrels between them. Hence, the man hatched a conspiracy and allegedly killed her on September 15. He then transported the body to the dam and dumped it in the water body, the official said. The police learnt that the accused fled to Koregaon village in Satara. A Navi Mumbai police team went to Satara and found the accused and the victim's daughter there, the official said.
The police also came to know that the accused took help of three of his friends in the crime. The main accused and the three others were arrested from Satara on Friday and brought to Panvel, he said. The victim's daughter has been sent to a child care centre, Panvel taluka police station's senior inspector Ashok Rajput said, adding that further investigation into the case was underway.
