A former Navy officer killed a 64-year-old railway labourer with a bamboo stick in a brutal assault after a fight broke out between them over grabbing a seat at Khadavli railway station. While the victim, Kanu Jadhav, was immediately taken to the nearest hospital, where he died, some of the eyewitnesses caught hold of the accused and handed him over to the Government Railway Police (GRP). The GRP registered a murder case against him and arrested him.
