Mumbai, May 2 -- A 27-year-old man accused of killing his fiancee and her mother in Virar allegedly circulated the woman's private photographs after her family opposed the marriage.
The victims, Nancy Mishra, 22, and her mother, Sarita Mishra, were found stabbed to death at their residence in Poonam Akanksha Apartment in YK Nagar on Wednesday afternoon. The murders were the culmination of a strained relationship after the mother refused to consent to the marriage, the police said.

"On the day of the incident, Upadhyay allegedly accessed Nancy's Instagram account and circulated her private photographs. An argument broke out over the posts, which soon escalated.
