A 33-year-old man has been arrested from Maharashtra's Palghar district in connection with the killing a person in 2016, police said on Sunday. Valiv police station's assistant sub-inspector Surendra Shinde said one Sandeep Mishra (20) was killed over a dispute in Dhaniv Baug area of Palghar on November 5, 2016.
