Sane was apprehended on Wednesday and presented before a Thane Court, which granted police custody until June 16.
A case has been filed against Sane under sections 302 (murder) and 201 (destruction of evidence) of the Indian Penal Code. The motive behind the crime is yet to be determined, according to an official from the Naya Nagar police station.
