Man kills friend after argument by hitting him with a cleaning mop in Thane

According to the police, Singh and Yadav, both natives of Uttar Pradesh and childhood friends, went to Yeoor and drank alcohol in an open place on the premises of the bungalow on Tuesday night. They had an argument, during which Singh allegedly abused Yadav and his daughter, which annoyed him, and the argument turned into a fight. Joshi and his family were not there.

“In a fit of rage, Yadav picked up a cleaning mop and started hitting Singh on his head and other parts of his body till he died,” said Pravin Mane, Senior Inspector, Vartak Nagar police station.

Yadav allegedly dumped Singh’s body behind the bungalow and fled from there. After locals found the body and informed the police in the morning, an accidental death report was filed. During further investigation, it was confirmed that Singh had been killed and that Yadav had been with him the previous night.

The police then launched a manhunt and nabbed Yadav from Thane. Yadav lived in a rented room in Vartak Nagar along with his wife and daughter.

Kedar Joshi filed a complaint after the police informed him of the murder at his bungalow.

The police have recorded his statement and will register a murder case against Yadav, who they said had confessed to the crime.

Joshi, a businessman, and his family visit the bungalow only on weekends or holidays, according to the police.
