How can Mumbai be safe for women when cops have failed to find my daughter,” said the father of the MBBS student who went missing in November 2021. The Mumbai Crime Branch has claimed that it has cracked the alleged kidnapping and added the woman was murdered by one of the two arrested accused. The woman’s father, a journalist by profession, however, said the cops are drawing conclusions without gathering evidence as the accused’s confession while in custody is not admissible before the court. He also pointed out how the same accused was given a clean chit in September 2022 by the cops after conducting a slew of tests.

The woman had left her home in Boisar on November 29, 2021 to appear for her second-year exam at Sir JJ Hospital. However, she went to Bandra Bandstand instead and has been missing since. Cops have arrested two accused in the case, one of whom had taken a photo with the student around 3 am that night. The same accused, Mithu Singh, recently confessed to killing her and dumping her body near Bandstand.
