Nagpur: A petty issue arising out of parking dispute turned gory when a 25 year old youth was hacked to death by a senior citizen and his two sons. The murder took place in the wee hours of Sunday. The crime, which took place in Nayi Basti in Teka Naka, was also allegedly supported by few more accomplices.
Ironically, Ansari was murdered soon after Ansari and his rivals came out of out of Jaripatka police station following intervention of a politician who wanted to get both parties to ‘compromise’.
Ansari, the sole breadwinner of the family, too was booked in the past for assaulting his rivals’ sister following a dispute over parking. The persons named in FIR by Ansari’s mother Shakeela have been identified as Naseem Shaikh (60), his sons Wasim (34) and Zuber (32). Sources claimed Wasim is NCP’s north Nagpur’s minority cell chief while younger brother Zuber is associated with Shreeram Sena floated by Ranjeet Salpekar. Police said CCTV footage has confirmed presence of Zuber and three others involved in the attack.
In another incident, former murder accused Amit Ramteke was also killed by two persons, identified as Shailesh Gulhane and Dharmik Kartik, at Parvati Nagar chowk in east Nagpur on Friday. Ramteke’s face and head was smashed with a heavy concrete piece. It is learnt that Ramteke was harassing pan kiosk owner Gulhane for ‘protection money’ on a regular basis and had also been demanding cash for purchasing liquor.
Ramteke was booked for murder in 2014. He was also charged for attempt to murder in the past when he had hurled a person into a well. Zonal DCP Nilesh Bharne’s team rounded up Gulhane and Kartik within a few hours of the murder.
The dispute between Ansari and Sheikh families, both residing at Mhada colony, had aggravated over the last few months. A space in front of Zuber’s married sister’s home had become the bone of contention between the two families. Ansari is learnt to have thrashed Zuber’s sister. An offence of assault was registered at Jaripatka police. Since the clash, there had been ongoing tussle between the family that once again snowballed on August 24 and also on Saturday.
