Sana Khan, 34, was the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) minority cell's functionary in Nagpur. Sana Khan's mother Mehrunisha, a resident of Awasthi Nagar, had lodged a missing person's complaint when her daughter went untraceable after leaving for Jabalpur on August 1, 2023, to meet Sahu, according to the news agency.
Sahu was later arrested and told the police that Khan was his wife and he murdered her over monetary and personal issues before dumping her body in a river in Jabalpur, police had said.
