Manoj Sane, the suspect in the grisly murder of Mumbai Mira Road, revealed to the police that he never had a physical contact with 32-year-old Saraswati Vaidya, his live-in girlfriend, since he is HIV positive, as per sources.

Sane reported to the authorities, he believed he transmitted HIV while receiving treatment for that accident.

According to Sane, Saraswati was very possessive of him but he use to treat her like his daughter. He also claimed that he’d teach Saraswati maths, on a board which police found on one of the walls of the flat where the couple resided, as the 32-year-old was preparing to appear for the Class 10 SSC examinations.

Saraswati Vaidya, the victim, was identified as an orphan by the police on Thursday. However, three sisters of Saraswati, came to the Naya Nagar Police station on Friday to record their statements.

Although Saraswati Vaidya and Manoj Sane were identified by their neighbours as a live-in couple, Saraswati told them, she had been staying with her uncle. Manoj also told the same to them. According to a staffer at the orphanage where she was raised, she told them also that she is staying with her uncle.
