The Inside Story

Woman Lawyer Brutally Murdered in Mumbai Highrise

In Central Mumbai's Himalayan Heights, Pallavi Purkayastha was brutally attacked and murdered by a security guard, Sajjad Ahmad Mughal.

Despite her efforts to escape, Ms Purkayastha was caught and dragged back into her flat by her assailant. A few hours later, her boyfriend found her dead with her throat slit. Investigations reveal that Mughal had been stalking Ms Purkayastha for two weeks and disconnected the power supply to her apartment when he knew her boyfriend was out.
