Man held for roadside murder
Mumbai, Aug 5: A 22-year-old man was arrested here on Friday for allegedly killing a friend by hitting him with a paver block last month, police said.
Both the accused and the deceased were pavement dwellers, said an official.
Suraj Manoj Tiwari (24), who hailed from Delhi, was found dead with an injury to head on J P Road in Andheri West on July 24.
Police zeroed in on Monukumar Singh, who knew Tiwari and who was untraceable since Tiwari’s death, as the prime suspect.
After his arrest, Singh allegedly confessed to killing Tiwari during a spat over consumption of ganja, the official said, adding that further probe was on. (PTI)
