A 26-year-old woman and two men have been arrested for allegedly killing the former's mother over a property dispute in Navi Mumbai, police said on Monday.
The police on Sunday arrested Pranali Pralhad Naik and her associates Vivek Ganesh Patil and Vishal Amresh Pandey, both 19 years old, for strangling her mother, Priya Pralhad Naik (44), a resident of Panvel, an official said.

The accused have been booked under sections 103(1) (murder), 61 (2) (criminal conspiracy) and other relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS), the official said.
According to the police, the accused said that the victim and her daughter were in a dispute over some domestic issues and property.
