The Police took action against the suspect Anita and launched search operation to nab her. The six Police teams in action finally arrested Anjali on Wednesday, Toi reports.
Saroj’s father Santosh, was in an illicit relationship with Anita a labourer since she was a teenager. Santosh’s wife reportedly left him when she learned of their affair in February and returned to her hometown Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh with their two-year-old son leaving Saroj with her father.
When the Police interrogated Anita she told the police that she took the extreme step to teach Santosh a lesson for refusing to marry her by killing his daughter.
She said she was waiting to lure Anjali on 24 March when she found her playing with her friends outside her house at Sai Arpan building in Vijay Nagar, Nalasopara (E).

Though Santosh had not revealed the complete story, a CCTV footage showed Anita walking away with Anjali.
On seeing the video footage Santosh managed to hide the truth refusing to know Anita.
