<h2>Panvel man kills ailing younger brother, tries to pass off murder as natural death</h2>
Police have arrested a 45-year-old man for allegedly strangling his ailing younger brother to death and attempting to pass off the murder as a natural death at<a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-crime-news/article/mumbai-man-wanted-in-attempt-to-murder-case-nabbed-after-37-years-23521258" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"> Panvel in Maharashtra's Raigad district</a>, an official said on Friday.
The incident took place on November 4 at their residence in Khanda Colony, he told news agency PTI.
The accused allegedly tried to make the death appear natural, but his plan was foiled after alert neighbours noticed signs of foul play and informed the police.
The 40-year-old victim was suffering from a serious illness and lived with his elder brother, the police official said.
"The deceased was suffering from a serious illness. The financial burden of his medical treatment and continuous domestic disputes had created severe tension within the family, prompting the accused's wife and children to move back to their native village six months prior," the Khandeshwar police station official said.
On Wednesday, the accused allegedly strangled his younger brother using a nylon rope and attempted to pass off the death as natural. However, when an ambulance arrived to transport the body, the victim's shirt collar shifted, exposing rope marks around his neck. Suspecting foul play, neighbours immediately alerted the police.
Senior Police Inspector Smita Dhakne and her team rushed to the spot and launched an investigation. <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-crime-news/article/powai-murder-case-mumbai-police-nabs-26-year-old-suspect-from-gujarat-after-massive-manhunt-operation-23632465" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Forensic analysis</a> and the post-mortem report confirmed that the victim had been strangled.
During sustained questioning, the accused allegedly confessed to killing his brother. Police subsequently arrested him and registered a case against him.
The accused was produced before a court, which remanded him to police custody till Saturday.
