Kalyan: A 17-year-old boy allegedly murdered his 18-year-old nephew in his sleep following a spat over a game of digital Ludo in Kalyan early on Wednesday. The minor has been detained.Police said the minor and his nephew, Gokul Bhim Bihari, worked at a dhaba in Kalyan’s Umbarde Kolivli, along with two Nepalese nationals. After dinner, the four decided to unwind by playing Ludo on a mobile phone around 2am. Bihari objected to a move made by the minor in the game, which led to an argument. As the spat escalated into a fight, the co-workers intervened and managed to calm the two of them down. All four then went to sleep.Police said a little later, the minor woke up, grabbed a knife from the kitchen and slit Bihari’s throat while he was asleep. The co-workers rushed Bihari to a hospital nearby, but doctors declared him dead on arrival.ACP Ashok Honmane said further investigation is underway.
