Eight days after a man killed a pavement dweller outside the latter's hut near Mahalaxmi station, the NM Joshi Marg police cracked the case with the help of the footage from several CCTV cameras.

The police said the 28-year-old suspect who was later identified as Surendra Ramsamuj Saroj, also known as Sonu or Kalia, murdered Naresh Shinde on the night of December 11, several hours after the two had a heated argument.
