Sources informed that prior to the murder, Prathamesh was staying at his relative’s house for a few days. On March 27 night Prathamesh secretly returned home with his girlfriend and went to sleep on the terrace.
On March 28 morning, neighbours heard Manisha screaming and they informed Mangaldas immediately, who was away from home.
When Mangaldas returned in the afternoon, he found the door locked from inside and called out his wife. On receiving no response, he contacted the neighbours and later informed the Curchorem Police, who broke the door only to find Manisha lying dead in a pool of blood.
