In a horrifying incident that has shocked Vasai, 32-year-old Rohit Yadav brutally murdered his girlfriend, Arati Yadav, by delivering 18 blows to her head with an industrial spanner. The attack, witnessed by numerous onlookers who did not intervene, occurred on a busy road on Friday morning.

Senior Inspector Jairaj Ranaware of the Valiv police described the scene, highlighting the severity of the attack. The couple, both residents and workers of an industrial estate in Vasai, had been in a turbulent relationship, with recent suspicions of infidelity leading to the fatal encounter.
