Munde Aide Arrested, Sent to Police Custody in Dentist Wife’s Death Probe

The family has sought a CBI investigation, signaling distrust of a local inquiry.

Overview

  • A magistrate remanded Anant Garje to police custody until November 27 after his wife, Dr Gauri Palve, was found dead at their Worli home.
  • Worli police registered an FIR for abetment to suicide under relevant BNS sections against Garje and two relatives named by the family.
  • Investigators are awaiting the autopsy report to confirm the cause of death, reviewing CCTV and phone records, and say no suicide note was found.
  • The family alleges sustained harassment linked to an alleged extramarital relationship and has requested an in-camera postmortem and a CBI probe.
  • Palve, 28, was a dentist at KEM Hospital and married in February 2025; Garje told police he returned to a locked flat and entered via an upper-floor window before finding her hanging.
