On Sunday 12 February 2023 Shah called a scrap dealer home and sold all the furniture, and utensils for Rs 4,500. When the scrap dealer asked about the bed, Shah refused to sell it. Shah was alone at that time and Megha wasn’t there. On the same day he purchased a rail ticket to Rajasthan. While on his way to Rajasthan he messaged Torvi’s relative to say that her body was in the bed storage and that he was going to die by suicide.The relative then informed the broker who had got the couple the flat. The broker approached the local Tulinj police. By the time the police reached the house, the neighbours had already started complaining of foul smell emanating from the house. The police broke open the door and found the body. The police then began tracking Shah’s location using GPS and other technology.
The Nalasopara police took help of the Railway Protection Force that detained Shah from the Nagda railway junction in Madhya Pradesh. A Tulinj police team got him to Mumbai and arrested him on Wednesday. A Mumbai court remanded him to police custody till February 21. Shah had failed to clear Class X and did not study further. A few years ago, his father had thrown him out of the house after he fled with cash and valuables worth lakhs from their residence. However, when he did not have anywhere to go during the Covid-19 pandemic, his father took him back. But then Shah started harassing his parents again as per their statement. The broker has told the police that the couple, who had claimed to be married, earlier also used to stay in Nallasopara before they took the flat on rent.
