Mumbai Murder: Lifeguard Charged With Killing Medical Student After She 'Refused To Have Sex'
Under criminal law, the last person seen with the victim is usually considered the prime suspect and is part of the circumstantial evidence.
Lifeguard Mithu Singh has been charged by the crime branch with the murder of MBBS student Swadichha Sane in 2021, using the "last person seen" theory.
The motive for the murder was attributed to Sane's refusal to have sex with Singh. The police stated that a scuffle occurred between the two, leading either Singh to push her or her falling on the rocks and dying.
