According to police, the incident occurred on Monday evening near Futala Lake, where a minor altercation between two groups while eating roasted corn (bhutta) allegedly escalated into a violent clash. During the confrontation, sharp weapons were allegedly used, resulting in the death of Asad alias Aman Khan, who died on the spot.

Another youth, Mayur Jadhav, sustained serious injuries in the attack and is undergoing treatment at a private hospital.

Asad, also known as Aman Khan, is reportedly the nephew of the notorious criminal Shekhu.

Soon after receiving information about the incident, senior police officers and Crime Branch teams rushed to the scene. After conducting a spot inspection and sending the body for post-mortem, police launched a coordinated manhunt that led to the detention of all seven suspects within a few hours.

Investigators are probing whether the murder was the outcome of a trivial dispute or whether it was linked to previous enmity or an ongoing gang rivalry. Police said all possible angles are being examined.

In view of the tension following the murder, additional police personnel have been deployed in the Gittikhadan and Futala areas to prevent any untoward incidents and maintain law and order. The investigation is continuing.
