The Dadar police have arrested a juvenile in connection with the murder of a 50-year-old security guard in Dadar in June this year. 

The police had arrested three persons in the case and this is the fourth arrest in the case. The accused told the police that they killed the watchman as he did not allow them to drink at an under-construction building site.

Four months after the murder, the case was solved by the Khar police recently.

It was revealed during the investigation that the accused — all from upper-class families had killed the guard as he had objected to their drinking at an under-construction site in Dadar.

The accused have been identified as Shivam Singh, his brother Satyam, residents of Nalasopara, and Mayank Shukla, a resident of Dadar. Shivam is BBA student, Mayank is studying engineering. The juvenile who has been arrested is the cousin of Singh brothers.

The Khar police received a tip-off that the two brothers were involved in some heinous crime that they had committed in Dadar, following which the police found that the accused were involved in a murder case of the watchman.

"Mayank and his brothers would visit the crime scene frequently but suddenly after the murder, they stopped going there. It raised our suspicion as Mayank was also a resident of the same area, and according to their mobile location, the accused were there on the day of the incident. We then picked up one of the brothers who told us that they stabbed the watchman as he had objected to their drinking," said a police officer from Khar police station.
