Navi Mumbai, Oct 17, 2026 16:54 IST — A man has been arrested in Kalamboli, Navi Mumbai, for allegedly killing his wife after suspecting her of having relationships with other men. The accused reportedly objected to her conversations with other individuals and questioned why money was regularly being credited to her bank account through Google Pay transactions from various senders.
The accused, identified as Manish Gop, worked as a delivery worker and resided at JB Complex in Sector 4E of Kalamboli. According to local law enforcement, the deceased was identified as Pinky Monish Gop, also known as Sonia Mohammad Abu Khatoon, who police stated was a Bangladeshi national.
According to investigators, Manish was unhappy with his wife's interactions with several men, and the couple frequently clashed over the money being transferred to her account via digital payment applications. The suspicion surrounding these financial transfers culminated in a violent confrontation.
On the night of October 15, at approximately 2 am, the accused allegedly assaulted his wife during a heated argument. He reportedly punched her repeatedly on the face, neck, and chest while scratching her, and also struck her abdomen with his hands and feet, leaving her critically injured. She subsequently succumbed to the injuries sustained in the attack.
The tragedy came to light shortly afterward, prompting senior police officials and personnel from the Kalamboli police station to rush to the scene. Authorities inspected the location and conducted a formal panchnama as part of the ongoing inquiry before taking the husband into custody.
Senior Police Inspector Tanaji Naranwar of the Kalamboli police station confirmed the details of the case. Investigators are continuing to examine the circumstances surrounding the fatal dispute and the digital transactions that allegedly triggered the attack, with further details anticipated as the inquiry proceeds.
