Brothers stab friend to death over Rs 3,000 debt in Ahmedabad

AHMEDABAD: Three brothers stabbed their 33-year-old friend to death over a financial dispute in Juhapura on Wednesday night.
According to Vejalpur police, Azharuddin Shaikh, a daily wage labourer, had lent Rs 3,000 to his friend Badshah Pathan two months ago. Shaikh had given him the money for a month only but Badshah did not return it for around two months.
On Wednesday evening, Shaikh called Badshah to meet him near his house and demanded the money back. Badshah came to the spot accompanied by his brothers, Sejukhan and Shadab.
When Shaikh asked for his money, Badshah and his brothers began abusing and assaulting him. Shaikh confronted them but the three men overpowered him.
Sejukhan and Shadab held Shaikh while Badshah stabbed him in the chest several times. Shaikh collapsed and was taken to a hospital, where he was declared "brought dead".
Inspector Kirit Rajvee of Vejalpur police said the three brothers are on the run after the killing.
Vejalpur police registered a case of murder against Badshah, Sejukhan and Shadab and began an investigation. This is the second murder in the city in two days. On Monday, two men stabbed 20-year-old Kaif Shaikh, a resident of Danilimda, at a mall near the ice factory in Juhapura. According to police, the murder took place after a fight over a game inside Rajyash Mall late on Monday night. Vasna police arrested two men from Vejalpur, Raiyan Ghausi, 20, and Talha Shaikh, 20, for killing Kaif Shaikh.
