The incident took place late Sunday night in Ashoka Garden when a minor dispute turned violent. According to reports, Vijay tried to calm the accused by calling them “beta”, but they attacked him with a knife. He later died from his injuries.
On Monday morning, angry family members and locals blocked the road in Subhash Colony to protest the killing. The jam was cleared after about 30 minutes following police intervention, though a brief argument also took place between the family and the police.
Police said the main accused is Asif, also known as Bam, who allegedly carried out the murder with his associates.
