Over a week after an auto driver was found murdered in his three-wheeler in Vasai, his wife, a woman cop, has been arrested for plotting the crime. With the arrest of Snehal Patil and another person named Vishal Patil on Wednesday, five people have been taken in custody so far.

The police said the victim, Pundalik Patil, was targeted after he saw Snehal and a cop named Vikas Paste, now arrested, in an intimate position. This had triggered a fight between the couple in the presence of Paste. Snehal with batch number 513 is attached to the Palghar district police.
