The Shahapur police have arrested two people including the father for allegedly beating up his 35-year-old son to death in Shahapur taluka, Thane District on September 18, the police said on Thursday.
The accused have been identified as Madhukar Govind Jadhav and his younger son Vishnu Jadhav, while the deceased- Ram Madhukar Jadhav, 35. Elder son Ram lived with his wife and two children in a separate house in the Nevre village in Shahapur.
