Manoj Sane (Mira Road Murder) Biography

Manoj Ramesh Sane is an Indian man from Ahmednagar, Maharashtra, who came to public attention in June 2023 after the death of his cohabiting partner, Saras

Early life and background

Manoj Ramesh Sane was born in 1967 in Ahmednagar, Maharashtra. He completed an ITI (Industrial Training Institute) technician course before moving to Mumbai, where he took up work at a ration shop. He is described as having a modest, private life and limited interaction with neighbours.

Career

Sane worked at The Villagers Consumers Cooperative Society Ltd, a ration shop in Mumbai. He is reported to have lost that job at the end of May 2023. Members of his extended family owned a residential building, and Sane received rental income from one of its flats.

Personal details

Reported physical details list Sane at about 178 cm (5 ft 10 in) tall and around 65 kg. His eyes are described as grey and his hair as salt-and-pepper. He is an Indian national and is identified as married in public reporting. He and Saraswati Vaidya, the woman who later died, were said to have first met around 2008 at the ration shop where he worked. They reportedly began living together in 2015.

Health

According to reporting, Sane contracted HIV in 2008 after an unsafe blood transfusion following a road accident and has been receiving treatment since then.

Crime and investigation

In early June 2023, neighbours alerted police to a persistent foul odour coming from Sane's flat. When officers entered the residence, they discovered human remains in the bathroom. Authorities allege that the death occurred on 4 June 2023 and that the body had been dismembered. Investigators reported the recovery of body parts, some of which had been cooked, and that tools including a tile cutter and an electric chainsaw were used. Bottles of eucalyptus oil were reportedly found in the flat, believed by police to have been used in an effort to slow decomposition.

Sane was detained on the premises with assistance from residents as he attempted to leave the building. An FIR was registered at Nayanagar Police Station in Thane on 8 June 2023 under sections 302 (murder) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence). He was presented before the court and placed in judicial custody.

Reported statements and context

During initial questioning, Sane reportedly said that Saraswati, aged 32, had consumed poison and died on 3 June 2023 and that, fearing wrongful accusation, he disposed of the body. He also reportedly said he had lost his job on 29 May 2023 and that frequent arguments had followed. In his alleged statement he denied a sexual relationship with Saraswati and characterized her as having a daughter-like role in his life. He is also reported to have told investigators that he had been influenced by an earlier high-profile case when deciding how to dispose of the body.

Public profile

The case drew extensive media attention because of the nature of the injuries and the alleged steps taken to hide the death. Neighbours described Sane as reclusive; some said they did not know his name. Police sent recovered remains to the JJ Hospital forensic laboratory for analysis and conducted searches of the building's drains and septic tanks amid concerns that additional remains might have been disposed of through plumbing.

Latest updates

Following the registration of the FIR, Sane was remanded to judicial custody. Further forensic and legal proceedings were reported to be underway as authorities continued the investigation.
