Mumbai, April 17: The Kherwadi police on Friday arrested an individual for allegedly killing a security guard in Bandra East on April 13. The accused has been identified as Nirajkumar Bilas Chaudhary (31). He was apprehended on Friday at Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata while attempting to flee.
Motive linked to personal relationship dispute
According to the police, the deceased, Abhinav Kumar (56), was in a relationship with a woman named Pritikumari. However, her parents opposed the relationship and forcibly arranged her marriage to Nirajkumar Chaudhary. Pritikumari reportedly refused to marry him, which led to resentment against Abhinav Kumar.
Police said that Nirajkumar, along with his associates, allegedly came to Bandra East armed with a knife and attacked Abhinav Kumar, resulting in his death.

Following the incident, the police formed two teams, one sent to Nagpur and the other to Kolkata.
