The murder was uncovered after the woman reported her husband missing. Fatima Abubakar Mandal filed a complaint on July 22 after her husband, Abubakar Suhad Ali Mandal, did not return home.

She told the Vashi police that the accused, Aminur Ali Anmed Ali Maulla, had been harassing her for several months. He had badgered her repeatedly with marriage proposals, which she had turned down. When matters escalated, her husband decided to have a word with Aminur.
