Sane, a third-year student at Sir JJ Hospital and Grant Medical College, was last seen at Bandstand with Singh on November 30, 2021, after which she went missing. Her body was allegedly dumped in the sea by Singh and his friend, co-accused Abdul Jabbar Sattar Ansari, but it is yet to be found.

According to charge-sheet submitted by the crime branch in court in April 23, Singh confessed to meeting Sane in the early hours of November 30. He allegedly tried to get intimate with her, but when she objected, a scuffle broke out between them. Singh then pushed her, and she sustained injuries on her head after hitting a rock, leading to her death.

The police were able to trace Sane’s location courtesy CCTV footage from Hotel Taj, immersion point and Galaxy Apartment, which showed that she had not left the Bandstand area on November 30. Her last location on Google was also Bandstand, and several autorickshaw drivers told the police they did not see her leaving the area that day.
