A 48-year-old grocery shop owner in Bhiwandi town of Thane district was murdered by two unidentified persons, police said today.
Suresh Mishrilal Gupta, who owned a grocery shop at Sonale village in Bhiwandi, was sleeping at the outlet along with his wife when two persons broke open its shutter and entered the premises at around 2.15 AM yesterday.
