section 302 (murder) by additional sessions judge Kishore M Jaiswal for killing Rupesh Mayaker near the latter's house in

Ghatkopar in June, 2016. As per the prosecution, Mayaker was drunk and his

conduct annoyed Varekar who hit the former with a wooden plank several times, killing him on the spot.
