Surat: An air-conditioner repairer from Mumbai was arrested on Monday by Valsad police for murdering his grandmother-in-law and robbing cash and gold ornaments worth Rs 4.3 lakh.
Police said that the accused Mohammed Anees Khan was out of work and had run into losses due to which he hatched a plan to kill his grandmother-in-law Ameena Khatun at Sarvaiyanagar in Vapi town and rob valuables from her house. Khan chose July 23 to carry out the crime as he was aware that Khatun was alone at her home on that day as his father-in-law Saifur Rehman Khan and other family members had gone to Bhiwandi to celebrate Eid.
