Palghar: A 33-year-old man was on Tuesday arrested for allegedly killing a 60-year-old woman and dumping her body on the road, police said.


The victim Laxmi Dodade, her kin and the accused Laxi Kharpade had gone to attend a marriage function in Govarsheth Pada in Talsari tehsil last night, a senior police official said.
