A 20-year-old woman and her boyfriend were arrested by the Kasturba Marg Police in Borivali East in Mumbai for allegedly killing the a friend after he demanded sexual favours from the woman due to non-repayment of a loan, the police said on Thursday.


According to the police, the deceased had demanded sexual favours from the woman after her boyfriend allegedly failed to repay a loan taken from the deceased.


The accused were identified as Falda alias Soni Rajesh Kumar Patil (20) and Ritesh Omprakash Chauhan (25), an official said.


According to the police sources, the incident occurred beneath the Sudhir Phadke Bridge on Wednesday evening. The police later arrived at the crime scene after it received a call from the police control about an injured person lying below the bridge.

The deceased was later identified as Prashant Pawar (48), a resident of Kharodi Village, Marve Road, Malad West in Mumbai.

“Under the guidance of DCP Zone XII, Smita Patil, and API Yuvraj Inamdar of Kasturba Marg police team apprehended the accused within an hour of the crime," said an officer.

During the investigation, it was revealed that Chauhan had borrowed money from Pawar, which he had not repaid. This led to ongoing arguments, fights, and verbal abuse between the two and on the day of the incident, they argued again over the unpaid loan. When Chauhan refused to repay, Pawar allegedly made an inappropriate demand for a sexual favours from the woman.

Soni, who was present during the confrontation, became enraged and along with Chauhan allegedly assaulted Pawar.
