MUMBAI: A 29-year-old man was arrested by the Vile Parle police on Tuesday for attempting to murder his mother-in-law by stabbing her five times in the neck with an intravenous fluid (IV) needle. Gaurav Manjrekar, the accused, was upset with the victim, Kalpana Achrekar, for allegedly instigating her daughter to obtain a divorce from him.
Manjrekar had tied the knot with Achrekar's daughter in December 2010. He stayed near Parleshwar society in Vile Parle (East) and was employed with a private firm at Bandra-Kurla Complex. But in July this year, he lost his job. He accused Achrekar (55) of creating a rift between him and his wife and using his jobless status to instigate her to obtain a divorce.
Achrekar is a resident of Dikshit Road, also in Vile Parle (East). She was suffering from chicken pox and tuberculosis and admitted to the intensive care unit of Nityanand Nursing Home on November 8.
On November 9, Manjrekar and his wife went to visit Achrekar at the hospital around 9am. The wife then left for her office while he left for home. Around 10.30am, Manjrekar returned to the hospital and entered Achrekar's room. He stabbed her with an IV needle in her throat five times. "She was not fully conscious when the attack took place but she did recollect that it was her son-in-law who was trying to kill her," a hospital staffer told TOI. "It's the first time in the history of the hospital that there's been an attempt to kill a patient inside the premises."
Achrekar fell unconscious after the attack. Manjrekar, while leaving the premises, told the hospital staff that Achrekar had tried to throttle herself. Accordingly, on November 9, the Vile Parle police registered a case of 'attempt to commit suicide' against Achrekar. However, when she regained consciousness on November 13, Achrekar narrated the facts to the police. Manjrekar was then arrested on charges of 'attempt to commit murder' under Section 307 of Indian Penal Code. He was remanded to police custody for two weeks by a metropolitan court on Wednesday.
Achrekar was shifted to Bhabha Hospital in Bandra two days after the attack when her condition improved. Manjrekar's father Ashok told the police his son was undergoing mental health treatment and joblessness had left him frustrated. Achrekar's family alleged Manjrekar previously tried to kill his wife and daughter.
