Phone chats deleted from mobile of slain hairstylist

Mumbai: The police said that Manohar Shukla had deleted all chats and call history of his girlfriend Naina Mahat’s cellphones after killing her in the Naigaon flat last month. Mahat’s decomposed body dumped in a trolley bag was found in Valsad. Naigaon police said DNA samples of Mahat’s sister have been sent for testing to identify the victim.

Shukla (34) allegedly killed her by drowning her in a bucket of water. He, and his wife Poornima, stuffed the body in a bag and travelled on their scooter to Valsad, with their two-year-old daughter.
