Delhi: Juvenile among four more nabbed for murder of 14-year-old boy
Four of the six accused were on the run after allegedly abducting and killing the teenager.
Four persons have been arrested in connection with the death of a doctor, who fell into an open manhole while walking through a flooded street during torrential rains in Mumbai on 29 August.
The arrests were made after a probe found that the accused had removed the manhole cover so that the water in the area, which had entered their houses, could drain out, police said. Dadar police in central Mumbai on Sunday arrested Siddhesh Bhelsekar, Rakesh Kadam, Nilesh Kadam and Dinesh Pawar, residents of a chawl in Parel area.
The death of Dr Deepak Amrapurkar, a gastroenterologist who worked with Bombay Hospital here, had caused widespread outrage.

Dr Amrapurkar went missing after getting out of his car which was stuck in a traffic jam and walking home along a waterlogged street near the Elphinston Road station on August 29, when torrential rains brought the city to a halt.
Eye-witnesses said that they saw a man falling into a manhole while wading through water. Amrapurkar’s body was recovered after two days from a nullah in central Mumbai’s Worli area.
The four accused have been booked under section 304 (A) (causing death by negligence), said an officer from the Dadar police station, adding that further investigation was underway.
