Ghatkopar contract killing investigation

Overview

Mumbai police arrested five individuals, including a mother-in-law, for the alleged contract killing of 39-year-old Sapna Pramod Ganji in the Ghatkopar area. While the death was initially reported as an accidental fall, a post-mortem examination and subsequent investigation revealed the incident was a planned murder.

Authorities allege that the victim’s mother-in-law, Dhanlaxmi Ganji, conspired to kill Sapna by offering a 3 lakh rupee contract to a former domestic worker and her family. The motive is believed to be linked to long-standing disputes, including a domestic violence complaint filed by the victim in 2024.
