Cops probe why Sachin Kapoor had kept multiple cartons of various sizes in his house

Veena Kapoor, the deceased
The police have recovered multiple cartons of various sizes from the home of Sachin Kapoor, accused of killing his mother Veena and then dumping her body. Officers suspect it was a planned murder. “The killer son might have thought about disposing of her body by dismembering it like in the Shraddha Walkar case,” said an officer privy to the investigation. Meanwhile, the body of the deceased was recovered from a hill area in Matheran on Wednesday night. Cops have sent her body for postmortem and are awaiting the report.
Juhu police have also arrested Sachin’s caretaker Chhotu, who allegedly helped him discard Kapoor’s body. Police sources said the accused killed Kapoor by hitting her repeatedly with a baseball bat after they had a fight over cleaning the bathroom.“During interrogation, Sachin said that he did not intend to kill his mother and that it was an accident,” said a police officer. Chhotu, who was present in the flat, was first to notice that Kapoor had died and informed Sachin. The killer son then convinced the caretaker to not tell anyone about it and help him discard the body.
