On being accused of having an illicit relationship with his wife, a man smashed his cousin brother’s head and killed him on Friday. Bandra police on Sunday arrested main accused Salman Shaikh and his friend Izhar Shaikh.
Ahmad Hadish Shaikh, a building painting contractor, was killed on Friday but his body was recovered from Qureshi Nagar in the wee hours of Saturday. When Hadish’s brother visited the Bandra police station to inform the cops that he’d gone missing, they asked him to identify the body. A murder case was registered. During investigations, cops came across a missing complaint registered by Hadish’s brother at Vakola.
