A 48-year-old man has been arrested by the Pelhar Police in Palghar district, Maharashtra, for allegedly orchestrating the murder of his employer over a financial dispute and attempting to make it appear as a road accident in Nallasopara.

The body of Prabhukumar Lutan Jha was found on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad highway in Nalasopara East. The badly mangled body, especially the victim's crushed head, raised eyebrows of a senior police officer, who ordered a detailed investigation into the case, leading to the arrest of the accused, Sanatan Binay Singh.
