Mumbai: A body was found stuffed in a suitcase and dumped in Mumbai’s western suburb of Malad on Sunday, October 14. The victim was recognised as Mansi Dixit, a 20-year-old model from Rajasthan.
A youth has been arrested in this case, whose house she had gone prior to the incident. The crime came to light because of an alert taxi driver.
The police have reported that Mansi had gone to meet the suspect, identified as Muzammil Sayyed (19). After they got into an argument, he allegedly strangled her with ropes.
