MUMBAI: A 29-year-old man killed his 22-year-old girlfriend, who he suspected was cheating on him, with a wrench on a busy road in Vasai on Tuesday morning. As the victim lay still on the road, passersby simply looked on or captured videos of the crime but none stepped in to help her.
In one of the videos, the accused, Rohit Yadav, is seen standing before the victim, Aarti Yadav, lying on the ground, and asking her in Hindi, “Why did you do this to me?”
Rohit told police that they had been in a relationship for over six years and had plans to wed.He said that a month ago, after he helped her get a job, he thought she “had begun to drift away”. He suspected her of being in a relationship with someone else.
