Consequently, the accused Mohd Sheikh, with ulterior motive in his mind, around 2 pm on Sunday, called Mohd Jishan at a place near Welcome Society in Borgaon on the pretext of ending the feud. Responding to Mohd Sheikh’s call, Mohd Jishan went to the spot. However, instead of keeping his word, the accused Mohd Sheikh and his four accomplices namely Abdul Shakid, Abdul Sohel, Mohd Shahnawaz Sheikh and Yaya Patel attacked Mohd Jishan with knives with the intention of killing him. Mohd Jishan received stab injuries on his head, neck and hands. A friend of Mohd Jishan who was accompanying him was also attacked murderously.
