He said this irked the victim and he abused the trio. Angered by his retaliation, they manhandled him and bludgeoned him to death before they fled the spot. An eyewitness, who works in the area, informed the police about the incident.
“The witness had seen Kalkutkar in the area earlier and knew where he resided. Based on this information, our police personnel raided his house and arrested him. During interrogation he revealed the names of the other two,” Nikam said.u00a0
