A search operation by the police recovered Kaif’s body from a drain near the railway track between Sandhurst Road and Byculla stations. “We located the telephone booth in Mastan Talao from where Khan called his wife last.
“The motive behind the murder is not known as statements of Samina and other family members are yet to be recorded,” said a police source.
