A 22-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly killing his co-worker in an inebriated state in the western suburb of Andheri in Mumbai, police said on Tuesday.
The MIDC police on Monday arrested Sushant Ghotkar for killing his colleague Rahul Gaikwad in Marol locality of Andheri, an official said.
