Remorse is finally sinking into Sarfaraz Shaikh's heart, a week after he murdered bank executive Siddharth Sanghavi. Presently in the custody of the NM Joshi Marg police station, Shaikh, 20, is showing signs of repentance and expressing regret over killing Sanghavi. "I had skills and knew good people. Rather than planning to rob someone, I could have worked hard to pay off my EMIs, but I did otherwise," he shared with cops.

The Koparkhairane resident had killed Sanghavi because he was in need of Rs 30,000-35,000 to pay the monthly instalments for his motorbike. He was allegedly hired by four people to kill Sanghavi and murdered him by slitting his throat after Sanghavi refused to give him Rs 30,000. On September 11, mid-day reported in, 'I was only threatening him with a knife, didn't mean to slit his throat,' how Shaikh had held a knife against Sanghavi's throat to threaten him into paying the amount.
