In a shocking incident reported from Maharashtra’s Nagpur city, a 19-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly poisoning and killing his 18-year-old friend and neighbour, reportedly driven by envy over the latter’s affluent background, police officials confirmed on Tuesday.

According to PTI, the accused, identified as Mithlesh alias Manthan Rajendra Chakole, resides in Nilkanth Nagar in the Hudkeshwar locality. He was taken into custody on Monday following an investigation into the mysterious death of Vedant alias Vijay Kalidas Khandate, who lived in the same neighbourhood.
