Navi Mumbai News: Man Kills Cousin On Suspicion Of Mobile Theft In Turbhe

Navi Mumbai: Turbhe Police reported on Friday that a 34-year-old man was killed by his cousin and an accomplice in Navi Mumbai due to suspicions of stealing a mobile phone. An official reported that the assault occurred in a public restroom in the Turbhe locality on Thursday morning.

A case has been filed under section 103(1) (murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) against the accused Arjun Adagale (55) and a person named Vidhan Mandal, employed at the public toilet.

According to report by PTI, "Adagale and his friend Mandal brought the victim out of his house and took him to a public toilet, where they consumed alcohol. The accused allegedly brutally assaulted Patole and killed him on the spot," an official from the Turbhe police station said.
