Tirupur:
A 28-year-old man from West Bengal, who was working as a labour contractor in a knitwear unit here, was found murdered on Sunday. Two of his friends could have committed the crime due to professional rivalry,
police sources said.
The deceased was identified as Mohammed Roni of North 24 Parganas district in West Bengal. “He had arrived in the dollar city a few years ago and was working as a labour contractor in a knitwear unit at Kaniyampoondi near Vanjipalayam. He was staying with his friends near the old bus stand,” a police officer said.
Preliminary investigations found that Roni had a dispute with another labour contractor, who was also from WB. “Some of the labourers working for Roni had started working for his rival. So, Roni and the rival were involved in a dispute. He was stabbed during such a quarrel with his rival and some of his friends. The culprits are at large,” the officer added. TNN
