A 34-year-old man was killed by his friend, who suspected him of being a police informer, in Maharashtra''s Nagpur city, police said on Saturday. The police have registered a case of murder against Rajesh alias Raja Methwani (34) and his nephew Rahul for killing Umesh alias Jitu Gargani, a resident of Jaripatka, on Friday, an official said.
