Irritated by the laugh of their 18-year-old friend, two minors in Malad kicked and punched him to death before escaping the spot. They were arrested a few days later while trying to flee the city.

The incident happened in Santosh Nagar's Kanya Pada, Malad East, on Saturday evening, when the minors aged 16 and 17 killed Dhiraj Singh. According to police sources, Singh and the accused were friends from the same locality. On Friday evening, while partying, they fell out over some issue and the minors stopped talking to Singh.
