The National Commission for Women (NCW) has strongly denounced the murder of a 28-year-old woman in Pune, urging local authorities to conduct a thorough and timely investigation. The incident, which took place in a company parking lot, involved a male colleague attacking the woman with a cleaver, reportedly due to a financial disagreement.
