Three arrested for Charkop man’s murder

ROHA:Three youths have been arrested for strangulating Charkop resident Sanjay Chavan (33) in a car in Wadala.
Chavan and the main accused, Pravin M Thakur (35) were in the business of selling SRA flats. The police said that a tiff over sharing commission resulted in Chavan’s murder. Thakur’s two accomplices—Navi Hussain Shaikh (22) and Venkatesh Singaram (25)—are Wadala residents.
