Juhu Police have arrested a 20-year-old man for allegedly killing his friend, Ganesh Babu Devendra, 24, over a trivial issue in Nehru Nagar on Saturday night. The arrested accused, Shiva Rama Keshava Devendra alias Shiva, stabbed Ganesh in the stomach with a sharp weapon after a verbal altercation between the duo.

Police booked Shiva under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code for murder.
