Two days after Dhanalaxmi Ganji and four others were arrested for allegedly killing her daughter-in-law Sapna in Ghatkopar, a lookout circular has been issued against her son Pramod, who is in Dubai. His passport has been impounded by Dubai authorities following a previous domestic violence complaint by Sapna.
Dhanalaxmi allegedly told Pant Nagar police that she had grudges against Sapna because Sapna had lodged two complaints against her family, including allegations of domestic violence, harassment and unnatural sex. She also alleged that Sapna did not take care of her son Divansh and had started drinking heavily. Police said these issues led to frequent quarrels.
On August 17, Dhanalaxmi allegedly found Sapna under the influence of alcohol at her Triveni Building home. A heated argument followed. Dhanalaxmi then called former maid Mangla Jadhav and offered her Rs 3 lakh to help kill Sapna. Mangla allegedly brought her husband Suresh Jadhav, daughter Shivani Jadhav and son Sajan Jadhav. Police said the accused overpowered Sapna, hit her with a glass object, threw chilli powder and strangled her. Suresh and Sajan allegedly pressed her neck with their feet until she died. The body was taken to Rajawadi Hospital, where doctors suspected foul play. All five accused have been remanded to police custody.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The case highlights how dowry harassment and domestic violence complaints, often filed by women against their in-laws, can escalate into fatal violence when family dynamics turn toxic. In many Indian families, the mother-in-law holds substantial household authority, and a history of counter-complaints, as seen here, often strains relationships to breaking point. The involvement of hired help, offered Rs 3 lakh for the murder, suggests the accused believed they could avoid detection by enlisting outsiders. With the husband in Dubai and his passport impounded, extradition proceedings may follow if India seeks his return. The next hearing in the police custody remand will likely yield more details on the conspiracy.
