Thane: A man has been arrested and another booked for allegedly plotting to kill a Titwala-based resident with whom the two had old business disputes, police said.
Senior Inspector BA Kadam of Khadkpada police station in Kalyan division said that 27-year-old Sachin Parachkar was arrested on Wednesday from a hotel near here when he, armed with a chopper, was on his way to kill complainant Vinod Vishe.
