A 35-year-old man was arrested for allegedly killing his brother-in-law by slitting his throat in Borivli (West) on Sunday evening.

The accused, identified as Bharat Makwana, was angry as his brother-in-law Sandeep Rajput (25) was preventing his wife from going to his house for the past one and half years.
