The leader of a Mathadi workers union in Navi Mumbai was allegedly stabbed to death in Nerul Monday night. Police said a former member of the union,with whom the deceased had a falling out,has been booked for the murder.
According to NRI police,the incident occurred around 10:30 pm near Seawoods flyover. The deceased,Balasaheb Chaudhari (42),had stepped out of his Nerul residence to meet some people for work when he was allegedly accosted and stabbed more than 25 times. He was rushed to D Y Patil Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries shortly after being admitted.
Police said that Chaudhari had dropped a man from the union a year ago,after which they had frequent disagreements. The man was identified as Vikas Auti. In the statement,some eyewitnesses said they saw a man matching Autis description running away from the scene of the crime.
We have registered a complaint against Auti under section 302 of the IPC and are trying to trace his whereabouts, said senior inspector Ahmed Pathan.
Chaudharis family has also given the statement saying they suspect Auti was only a tool,and that some other unions,with whom Chaudharis union has been having tiffs,sanctioned the murder. Pathan said all angles are being examined.
