THANE: A 54-year-old CA from Kalyan jumped to his death from the fourth floor of a
Thane hotel
after stabbing his 33-year-old paramour multiple times with a knife late Tuesday.
Police are waiting for the woman, who works in a bar, to gain consciousness to record her statement. “Shobhraj R was involved with the woman for two years and they used to meet in hotels. It is learnt that she used to often ask him for money,” said a police officer, adding that Shobhraj had spent at least Rs 1 crore on her.
“The frequent demands might have angered Shobhraj and he must have planned to kill her. He was carrying a kitchen knife when he met her on Tuesday night. He stabbed her multiple times in the abdomen, limbs and face. Assuming that she was dead, he jumped out of the hotel room window. He died on the spot,” the officer added.
The hotel staff alerted the police and rushed the woman to hospital. “We will question the woman when she regains consciousness and also talk to the family of the accused to know the real motive behind the attack,” said another police officer.
The man’s body was sent to a government hospital for post-mortem examination.
