Nagpur: A dispute over loan money led to brutal murder of a youth in Hudkeshwar area here in the wee hours of Sunday. The murder was captured on CCTV camera and the footage helped cops to nab the accused.
The deceased has been identified as Amol Girdhari Bhendarkar (28), a resident of Plot no 42, Dubey Nagar. Amol was running a laundry business at home. According to police, the deceased Amol Bhendarkar was a drunkard and would return home often at night. On Saturday evening, he left home to have liquor with his friends and did not return.
