Around 9 pm on Saturday, Sawant and the 14-year-old were sitting outside in the neighbourhood, along with a few others. During the conversation, the boy asked why Sawant had misbehaved with his sister. To this, Sawant first kicked the accused. They began to argue when the man slammed the teenager on the road and banged his head on the ground. He then kicked him in the face multiple times. Passersby intervened to disperse the two and rushed the boy to a nearby hospital, where he was declared dead during treatment, said a police officer.

The Deonar police booked Sawant for murder and arrested him on Sunday. An officer said that they have recorded statements of the eyewitnesses and further investigation is going on.
