Lokahnde's cell phone has been sent to Kalina forensic laboratory for recovering the clip which police suspect he might have deleted. Lokhande reportedly married two women from Ghatkopar and Chembur before forcing the victim to marry him in September last year, police added.

    He has multiple wives. He raped a girl. He was involved in a murder. How many more crimes should he commit before he is put away for a minimum of 25 years without parole. But in the twisted Indian system he may not get more than six months in fail and perhaps a fine of Rs 200!!
