A 28-year-old man allegedly stabbed a commercial sex worker to death at her room in Kamathipura, South Mumbai late on Sunday night. The accused, Jitendra Singh, who works for a cinema hall as a peon, got into a fight with the 30-year-old woman, Reshma Shaikh, over some monetary issue, said an official from Nagpada police station.
As the argument between Singh and Shaikh took an ugly turn, Singh began shouting and abusing Shaikh.
When she asked him not to abuse her, Singh turned even more violent and pulled out a knife and slashed the woman indiscriminately.
The police said that Singh ended up slitting open Shaikh’s throat besides stabbing her on the stomach and head.
