Thane: A 54-year old man from Kalyan town in Thane was killed after a quarrel over Re 1, police said today.
The incident took place late last night when the victim, Manohar Gamne (54), went to buy eggs at a neighbourhood shop in Rambaugh, said Thane police PRO Sukhada Narkar.
Mr Gamne allegedly paid Re 1 less to the shopkeeper which led to an argument between the two. The shopkeeper abused the victim, the police official said.
