According to the news agency, the man, an Uran resident, Sayarali Jalil Sheikh, 27, was booked on Wednesday under IPC section 302 on the complaint of the brother of victim Imdadul Pachu Sheikh (35), he said.
Citing the FIR, the official said that a friend of the accused had sought refuge at the victim's place for a brief respite. Sayarali was apparently furious when Imadul asked his friend to leave his room.
Between December 16 and December 21 last year, Sayarali allegedly fatally attacked Imadul and hid the body in an empty water tank of a dilapidated building at Chirle near Uran.
The police initially registered an accidental death report, but upgraded it to a murder investigation following the autopsy report and a complaint by Imadul's brother, the official said.
Meanwhile, the Navi Mumbai Police have booked two persons associated with a finance firm for alleged duping loan seekers of Rs 15 lakhs, an official said on Wednesday. The accused, attached with a finance company based in Navi Mumbai's Vashi, allegedly duped 32 loan seekers, reported PTI.
According to the PTI report, the accused lured victims over the past year with the promise to facilitate loans which they wanted to avail.
An official from Vashi Police Station told the news agency that the victims were allegedly charged commissions which totalled Rs 15, 14, 500 but the loans promised were never provided.&nbsp;
The accused, reportedly, later closed their operations, absconded and disconnected their contact numbers, the complainant told the cops.&nbsp;
Based on the complaint, the police registered a case on Monday against the two fraudsters under Sections 420 (cheating) and 406 (criminal breach of trust) of the Indian Penal Code and added that they are conducting a probe into the case, a PTI report stated.
