Pune: The Pune Rural police on Saturday arrested a man from Khamgaon in Daund taluka on the charge of hacking his brother-in-law to death.

After hacking his brother-in-law, Suraj Bhujbal (28), to death, the suspect Amit Bahirat (27) went to the police station and surrendered before the Yavat police.
An officer from the Pune Rural police said Bahirat got married to Bhujbal's sister about one-and-a-half years ago. However, for the past few months, they were living separately following some differences.
