A minor dispute over a parking spot in Mumbai led to the murder of a man in Mumbai's Vikhroli on Friday evening. A 41-year-old tempo driver was thrashed to death with iron rods by three men. The three accused were arrested by Parksite Police.

The dispute began when the tempo driver parked his vehicle in front of a shop near Islampura Noorani Mosque. The argument soon turned into a fight and accused Mohammad Tariq Zainur Abdin, Furqan Ishtiaq Ahmed Khan, and Zeeshan Ishtiaq Ahmed Khan beat up the victim, Kitabullahin Sheikh.

The accused seriously injured Kitabullah with an iron table, rod, and chain. Kitabullah Rafiqullah Shaikh (age 41) was rushed to the nearby Mahatma Phule Hospital for treatment, where the doctors declared him dead on arrival.

Delhi Cabbie Murdered Over Fare

A 26-year-old taxi driver was reportedly killed in northeast Delhi’s Sonia Vihar during a dispute over a Rs 400 fare. The Times of India reported that among the five accused, one is a juvenile, according to the police.

The incident unfolded when three passengers, after completing their cab ride, allegedly refused to pay the fare, sparking an argument with the driver. The trio then called up two of their friends. The group then fatally assaulted the cabbie. The police have arrested one suspect and taken the juvenile into custody.

The police were alerted about the incident around 1:15 AM on December 18. The injured driver, Sandeep, a Jahangirpuri resident, informed officers at the Nanaksar police checkpoint that he had picked up three passengers from Noida. Upon reaching Second Pushta in Sonia Vihar, the passengers declined to pay the fare and began an argument. During the altercation, one of the assailants stabbed Sandeep in the head and stomach. He was rushed to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Northeast), Rakesh Paweriya, stated that CCTV footage was reviewed to pinpoint the exact location of the incident. "The cab’s route was traced, revealing it had travelled from Khajoori Chowk toward A Block, Sonia Vihar. The attack occurred near Second Pushta," he was quoted as saying by TOI.

Investigators tracked down Prateek, a Kondli resident who had booked the cab. He revealed that on the night of December 17, he met his friends Deepanshu (alias Ashu), Rahul, Mayank, Nikhil, and a minor, where they drank alcohol. Prateek then arranged for a cab to take Deepanshu, Rahul, and Mayank home in Sonia Vihar.
