A troubling case has emerged from Mumbai involving a woman who is alleged to have killed and mutilated her own mother, subsequently living in the same home with the remains for an extended period. The situation began to unfold when family members grew concerned about the mother, Veena Prakash Jain, who had not been seen or heard from for weeks. Authorities were alerted after relatives noticed the quiet absence of the elderly woman and the unusual lack of contact with the family network that once tracked her daily life.
The daughter named in the investigation is Rimple, a 24-year-old connected to Veena Prakash Jain. Neighbors observed a growing distance between the two and reported that the elder woman had stopped visiting relatives or answering inquiries about her whereabouts. When relatives came by to check in, the door was not opened for an extended period, and concerns about Veena’s safety intensified. Eventually, a knock on the door led to a confrontation where Rimple appeared to be reluctant to engage with the visitors, prompting more thorough inquiries from the extended family.
As the investigation deepened, attempts to locate Veena led them to question the possibility that she had relocated to Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh. Family members disputed this assertion, insisting that the mother could not simply disappear without a trace. The relatives reported the matter to the police and cooperated with officers to establish a clearer timeline of Veena’s last known movements and the events surrounding her disappearance.
During a comprehensive search of the home, investigators uncovered a disturbing scene. The remains of Veena were found in a severely desecrated state, with evidence indicating that dismemberment had occurred. Authorities described that parts of the body had been hidden in a water heater, while other portions were concealed within a closet and a bag along with a wrapped torso. The discovery prompted authorities to reconstruct the events that led to Veena’s death and the motivations behind the actions that followed.
The account provided by the family later suggested that Veena had sustained serious injuries after reportedly falling from the second floor on a specific date. It was claimed that two workers from a local cafe assisted in moving the injured woman into the apartment. The injuries were described as severe, including head trauma, but medical treatment was not sought in a timely manner, contributing to the fatal outcome. Investigators examined whether this version held true as part of the ongoing case.
Following Veena’s death, it is alleged that the daughter took drastic measures to conceal the tragedy. Discreet tools such as an electric marble cutter, a sickle, and a knife were reportedly used in the process of disassembly. The body was hidden in various locations to avoid detection. The actions taken were intended to prevent blame and protect the daughter from responsibility, leading to charges of murder and evidence destruction once the truth began to come to light.
The two had a history of frequent quarrels, and the family dynamics around Veena and Rimple have been a focal point of the investigation. Authorities have since detained Rimple for questioning and have filed formal charges, with the case moving through the judicial process as investigators continue to piece together the sequence of events and assess all evidence gathered from the home and surrounding circumstances.
In other news, a separate report from another city described the discovery of a mutilated body in a sewer system. The incident remained under investigation, highlighting ongoing concerns about violent crime and the preservation of life in rapidly evolving urban environments.
