NMUMBAI, November 21: After last afternoon’s case of stabbing of an undertrial, a Gawli aide Rajaram Bhoir by a rival Dawood Ibrahim man Feroz Kokani, outside the Sessions Court, the Colaba police today arrested Naseer Hussain Noor Mohammad Choudhary alias Naseer Murgi (25) for supplying the weapon — a razor — used for the purpose, to his colleague Kokani.

Kokani stabbed Bhoir with a razor in the knee outside Sessions Court No 24 when the two undertrials were being moved out of their respective courts after hearing. As the two crossed paths, Kokani attacked Bhoir on the head, as a result of which the latter fell down. Kokani then slashed him on the knee.

The police said Naseer, who has a large number of criminal cases against him and is currently on bail, gave Kokani the razor on the third floor of the Sessions Court itself. A case (407/97) under sections 324 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code has been registered against Naseer by the Colaba police.
