A 39-year-old Nigerian national was killed allegedly by a group of youths at Diva in the district after they tried to rob him, police said today.
The incident occurred last night and the victim has been identified as Uche Alai Madhuka, a police official said.
Kalwa police subsequently arrested three of the youths, aged 18-19 years, said police PRO Gajanan Kabdule.
According to police, a group of six local youths stopped Madhuka and his friend who were returning home at around 9.30 last night and demanded that they part with their mobile phones and money.
