Two murdered over petty quarrel

Two men were murdered on Friday at Mori Road,allegedly over a spat between two women in a Mahim slum a fortnight ago. Altaf Abdul Sheikh alias Laddoo (26) and Abdul Mohammad Sheikh (21) alias Pandya from the said slum were standing near a shop when they were attacked. The police have arrested one of the accused,Sayyad Abdul Karim (18) alias Salim Langda,while three others are yet to be arrested. A fortnight ago,a quarrel had broken out between Karim’s wife and the wife of one of Abdul Sheikh’s friends,leading to an animosity,said police inspector Vinay Kulkarni. “On Friday morning,the accused phoned the victim and hurled abuses. They then traced them and attacked them with sharp weapons.”
