The secretary of a housing society from Ulhasnagar was arrested on Tuesday, for allegedly killing its watchman by thrashing him and strangulating his throat, allegedly because the watchman did not do his work properly.


According to Ulhasnagar police, the victim, Vikas Balbahadur Sunar, 23, worked as the watchman of Menaka Palace building in Maharashtra Nagar and lived on its ground floor with his wife and their three-year-old daughter.


The Clash
The accused was identified as Vicky Talreja, 36. A police official said, "According to the complainant, Sunar's wife, the accused, Talreja came to their room on Monday evening, and started shouting about the lights of the building and the water pump not being on. He then asked Sunar to pack up and go back to his village for not doing the work given to him properly. Sunar started requesting that he be allowed to live there for next three months as the monsoon has begun and he had his three-year-old daughter with him. After that conversation, both of them had a clash."
