Sensational Bandstand case turns crime branch spotlight on Govandi girl who fell into the sea at same spot six years ago
Tarannum Ansari had apparently drowned at the same spot at Bandra Bandstand where the accused in the MBBS student case claimed to have thrown her body
The sleuths of Mumbai Crime Branch Unit 9, which is probing the murder of the MBBS student, are said to have contacted the family of Tarannum Kamruddin Ansari, 18. The Govandi resident had fallen into the sea while taking selfies with her friends in 2016 at Bandstand in Bandra. Her mother claimed that the officials told her they are looking for Tarannum in the sea. This has revived the hopes of her grieving family members, who feel she will be traced.
One of the arrested accused in the case and a lifeguard, Mittu Sukhdev Singh, 32, has confessed to killing the MBBS student in 2021 and he had also told the cops that he dumped her body in a hidden place in the sea at Bandstand from where it will not return. Singh also allegedly told the cops that Tarannum had drowned at this spot and was untraceable after this. Tarannum stayed at Baiganwadi in Govandi with her mother Shehnaz, two sisters and a brother, Ishaque. Her father Kamruddin Ansari died 15 years ago.
