A court in Vasai has extended police remand for Rohit Yadav, accused of murdering his girlfriend Aarti Yadav. The crime, captured on video and widely shared, has sparked national outrage. Police seek further details, while Yadav's lawyer claims the act was due to sudden provocation after a breakup.

A court in Vasai, Palghar district, has extended Rohit Yadav's police remand until June 27. Yadav is accused of murdering his girlfriend Aarti Yadav in front of onlookers on a busy street, a crime caught on video that has incited national outrage.

The incident occurred on June 18 in the Chinchpada locality, where Rohit Yadav allegedly hit Aarti repeatedly with a wrench, leading to her death. Shockingly, bystanders filmed the crime but did not intervene.

During the remand hearing, police cited discrepancies in the accused's information and emphasized the need for further investigation. Yadav's lawyer, Harish Goud, argued that the crime was a result of sudden provocation following the victim's decision to end their six-year relationship.
