A row over a resting spot ended in murder when a 50-year-old man from Nuvem was killed in the Verna Subway on Wednesday.
Verna police have arrested the accused, Tahir Mulla (27), a native of Andhra Pradesh, in connection with the murder.
According to sources, the accused had arrived in the State a few days earlier looking for a job and would do petty jobs in the Verna IDC for a living and rest in the subway.
However, on Tuesday night, the accused arrived at the subway and found the deceased, Sanjiv Bojgar, at the place that used to be occupied by him.
The duo got into a heated argument, and in a fit of rage, Mulla allegedly assaulted the Bojgar, who fell from the stairs, causing head injuries and eventually leading to his death.
Police verified the antecedents of Mulla and was informed that he had left his district Kunnor in Andhra Pradesh without informing his family and his wife had lodged a missing complaint there.
Verna police have registered an offence against the accused and further investigation is being carried out by Verna PI Prashal Desai under the supervision of DySP Raju Raut Desai.
