ANGERED by a constable making a demeaning comment about his sister, a cellphone shop owner thrashed and lobbed a boulder at him, which led to his death.
According to the police, the incident took place late on Wednesday night in Kalyan (East).
Suresh Gaywan (35), a constable attached to the Dharavi police station and Jagdish Varude alias Jaggu (23), were having a few drinks near Prashant Beer Bar when Gaywan called Varude's sister a person of 'loose character'.
An angry Varude began whipping Gaywan with his belt and pushed him down. He then threw a boulder at Gaywan, which landed on his face, and fled.
A passerby informed the Kolsewadi police after he saw Gaywan lying in a pool of blood. Cops rushed to the spot and admitted him to Rukminibai Hospital, where doctors suggested that he be transferred to Sion Hospital for further treatment.
Gaywan's relatives took him there, and later he was declared dead.
Varude, who is also a driver, was arrested last afternoon and officials said he has confessed to the crime. Gaywan, a resident of Karpewadi in Kalyan, is survived by his wife and two children.
"Gaywan passed a lewd comment about Varude's sister, which prompted the latter to attack him. We have arrested Varude," said Inspector Sainath Thombre of the Kolsewadi police.
