“Sonal is a singer. Goswami wanted her to join his orchestra. He had been troubling her for the past two months by making repeated phone calls. Goswami was in love with the woman,” said A Jadhav, senior inspector, Malad police station.

Meanwhile, the police said that the investigation has come to a halt as the statements of Goswami and Sonal could not be recorded. “Sonal’s vocal chord has been damaged. Doctors at Evershine hospital in Malad (West), where she is admitted, have advised her against speaking. It has not been possible to record her statement yet,” said an official from Malad police station.

Goswami is in a critical condition and is recuperating at Bhagwati hospital. “Goswami is not out of danger yet. So, we haven’t been able to record his statement,” said the official.

Sonal has been married to Hetal for 15 years and has two sons from the marriage.
