A 65-year-old man was allegedly killed by a fellow inmate at a de-addiction centre in Maharashtra's Pune in the early hours of Thursday, police said. The accused, Sanket Alhat (24), was upset because no one from his family had come to meet him on his birthday and the victim Mohan Rathi used to abuse him, an official said.

"The victim and the accused were roommates. Alhat was upset and stressed as no one from his family had come to meet him on his birthday on April 16. Rathi also used to abuse him," assistant police inspector Prashant Kanase of Sinhgad Road police said.
