In Maharashtra's Thane district, two youths, Aakash Pawar and Sandesh Khandare, were arrested for allegedly killing 27-year-old Suraj Sharma after he made objectionable remarks about Pawar's sister. Sharma was reportedly bludgeoned with paver blocks on a terrace in Bhiwandi and his body was found near Anjur village. Police investigations, aided by CCTV footage, led to the arrests, and efforts continue to locate a third accomplice involved in the crime.
