The wife of Anil Chugani, 43, has allegedly told the police that his behaviour was unpredictable. Chugani is accused of killing his best friend's three-year-old daughter, Shanaya Hathiramani, by allegedly flinging her out of the seventh floor window of his flat. The police have been in regular contact with his wife, Kashish, who stays in Andheri.

'To separate from wife'

The police said Kashish has been staying with her mother for about five months. They say she has told them that she and Chugani are on the verge of separation. Sources from the police revealed that Chugani's neighbour at Colaba also told them that the couple used to fight and they have heard loud voices on several occasions. "Until now we have recorded Chugani's and witnesses statements, which indicate that he is of unsound mind. If this is true, then what did his family do?" said a police officer.
