A 38-year-old man was arrested on Thursday by the unit 10 of the Mumbai Crime Branch for killing his grandmother, around eight years after the crime. The accused, who was living in Kalyan disguised as a painter, had recently contacted one relative on messenger, following which police traced him and nabbed him. Police officers had kept an eye on the deceased’s relatives even after closing the case by filing an A summary report. 

The accused, Pradeep Sonawane, has confessed to the crime and said he killed his grandmother in a fit of rage as she allegedly tried to create differences between him and his wife.
