Goregaon Police Arrest Two Men for Prem Nagar Murder
A man in Mumbai was badly hurt late one night and sadly died.
He had been beaten up outside a hotel because of an argument about a hotel bill.
His brother told the police what happened.
The police worked very fast and caught two men suspected of hurting him within one day.
The two men are called Ajay and Vikas.
The police made a special team to find them because witnesses could not recognize the attackers.
After finding them, the police took them to court.
A judge said the men must stay with the police until August 23 so the police can keep asking questions.
The police are still working to learn more about what happened.
