A 45-year-old man was killed and his wife was severely injured after they allegedly asked a man not to urinate in front of their house in western suburb of Goregaon, an official said.

Nandlal Ramdev Kanojiya and his wife Urmila caught the accused Amit Saurav urinating in front of their house at Babasingh Chawl in the early hours of Thursday, an official from Malad police said.

The accused called one of his colleagues and a heated argument ensued, following which he attacked the couple with a sharp weapon, he said.
