Hoping to avoid getting in trouble at home, an 18-year-old is now in deeper trouble with the law after he killed his friend. The teenager had lent his friend Rs 400, but then ended up thrashing him when his mother asked him to get the money back.

According to the police, Pravin Rajendra Rathod’s mother had given him Rs 500 to fill petrol in his vehicle. When his friend, Ajay Lotan Rakme (also 18) who lived in the same neighbourhood in Sangharsh Nagar, Andheri (West) asked to borrow some money, Rathod gave him Rs 400.
