Mumbai:
A trainee air hostess was found dead at her flat in a Mumbai suburb last evening, officials said.
Rupal Ogrey, who was from Chhattisgarh, had shifted to Mumbai in April this year after being selected by Air India.
She lived at her flat in a plush housing society of Andheri with her sister and her boyfriend – who had gone to their hometown a few days ago.
Police have arrested a 40-year-old man, who work as a sweeper in the society, in connection with Ms Ogrey’s murder. He is currently being interrogated by the officials.
“The main accused, Vikram Atwal, has been arrested and the security cameras in the housing society are also being scanned for any clue,” police said.
About 12 teams had been formed to trace the accused, they said.
Police are also questioning Vikram Atwal’s wife who also work as a housekeeper in the society, they said.
Rupal’s family members had asked her friends in Mumbai to check on her after she did not pick their calls yesterday. When her friends went there, they found the flat locked from inside.
They then informed the police. The officials broke into the flat and found Ms Ogrey lying in a pool of blood. She was rushed to a nearby hospital – where doctors declared her dead on arrival.
