Mumbai, February 19 A 39-year-old man was killed in south Mumbai, allegedly by his friend, following an argument over speaking loudly during a video call, a police official said on Thursday.
On Monday afternoon, daily wage labourer Vipul Kamroti Karmakar (39) was speaking loudly on a video call, which angered Ibrahim Kalu Shaikh (19), according to a Pydhonie police station official.
"Both live in a slum near a temple on Clive Road in Masjid Bunder. The argument over speaking loudly on the phone resulted in Shaikh repeatedly hitting Karmakar's head on the pavement. While Shaikh fled the scene, Karmakar was rushed to JJ hospital, where doctors declared him dead on arrival," he said.
Shaikh was arrested on Tuesday, and further investigation into the murder case is underway, the official added.
