GURUGRAM MAN ON WAY TO MEDICAL STORE KILLED

GURURGAM: A 27-year-old man was killed and his two cousins injured after a group of about 15 men attacked them with sticks and guns while they were on their way to Sohna from Nuh to buy medicines on Sunday night. Police on Monday said they have arrested six men so far on charges of murder and rioting.

While the police said the motive for the attack is unclear, the family of the deceased, Asif Khan, alleged that the suspects were former members of Khan’s gym and they had a fallout with Khan over some issue.

Meanwhile, some locals have claimed that the assailants had forced Khan to chant a Hindu religious slogan before fatally attacking him. But the police refuted the claims and said the complaint by Khan’s family did not mention any such angle.

Khan used to run a gym in Sohna. On Sunday, around 8pm, he left from Nuh for Sohna in his car, along with his cousins, Rashid and Wasif. Nuh SP Narender Bijarnia said around 15 men on motorbikes and cars started following the trio.

They hit Khan’s car from the rear and forced him to stop, after which they assaulted Khan and his cousins with guns and sticks, added the SP.
