A 64-year-old man was arrested at Vasai in the district on Wednesday for allegedly killing his relative following an argument over a cigarette, an official said.
Police had launched a search for the 'woman' after traders in Vasai-Virar region complained of being sweet-talked by a woman. Ambekar would go to jewelry showrooms, grocery shops and medical stores, where cellphone numbers of owners were displayed on name boards. Police said Ambekar would call up and show interest in making purchases.
A young couple from Vasai was allegedly blackmailed with their photographs by a man who demanded extortion money from them via Instagram.
