Two persons were arrested Saturday for allegedly killing a 60-year-old man by smashing his head with a stone in Shil Daighar area in Thane district of Maharashtra on November 15, the police said.

Police had found the body of the victim Maruti Pawar, a resident of Mumbra township, in a farm in Shil-Daighar on Thursday.

Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Abhay Saigaonkar said Pawar used to quarrel with the arrested accused, identified as Sunil Sahu and Sanjay Sahu (both aged 20), who are employed at a local food joint.

He said the Sahus and two others attacked Pawar on Thursday and smashed his head with a 15-kg stone before dumping his body in a nearby farm.

The ACP said the police are looking for Raj Chepand and Bhai Chepang for their alleged role in the crime.

Police cracked the murder case after they were told by some locals that the food joint was shut down abruptly, he said.

Saigaonkar said the police had questionned nearly 60 persons before zeroing in on the Sahus.
