Thane: The city police have arrested two men and detained a minor for allegedly killing a man at Dombivali in the district.
The accused bore a grudge against the victim, Rakesh Yadav (28), said R M Mungekar, senior inspector at Vishnu Nagar police station.

All three were apprehended on the same day.
The trio have been booked under IPC section 302 (murder), the police officer said.
