New Delhi: A 28-year-old man was beaten to death by a group of men after a dispute over an autorickshaw hitting his vehicle in Mumbai’s Malad on Saturday.
The victim was identified as Akash Maeen, a Maharashtra Navnirman Sena worker. He was with his parents at the time of the dispute.
On Saturday evening, the auto driver hit Akash’s car while overtaking, near Pushpa Park. This led to an argument between them, after which the auto driver left, Dindoshi Police said, according to NDTV.
A crowd that had gathered in support of the auto driver assaulted Akash.
In a video of the incident, the man is seen being thrashed by a group of men while his father tries to push them away. In a desperate attempt to protect him, Akash’s mother lay over his body to shield him, the report added.
“Maeen was kicked and punched, leaving him with serious injuries. He was rushed to a nearby hospital where he died. Based on CCTV footage, we held six persons on Sunday and three on Monday. They have been charged under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for murder and other offences,” an official said, as reported by the news agency PTI.
The police have arrested nine people. They will be in police custody till October 22.
