Mumbai: 3 minors kill a man after being stopped for bursting firecracker

Three minors killed a 21-year-old man on the occasion of Diwali on Sunday in Mumbai’s Shivaji Nagar neighborhood’s Natwar Parekh compound after they were stopped for lighting firecrackers inside a glass bottle.

The Mumbai Police have detained two of the accused, but one is still on the loose. The event was caught on camera when the victim, Sunil Sankar Naidu, fled from the accused after being stabbed.

Sunil Shankar Naidu allegedly prevented a 12-year-old child from setting off firecrackers in a glass bottle, and the boy then summoned his 14-year-old brother and a 15-year-old friend to attack Sunil, according to Shivaji Nagar police and eyewitnesses. The four got into a fight first, and the three minors then started pounding Sunil. In the midst of this, one of the juveniles stabbed the man in the neck and fled.

After receiving a neck wound, Sunil pursues the kids as well. The CCTV footage shows the victim lagging behind the minors. He is seen attempting to climb the stairs while holding his neck in one hand. He was unable to ascend and lay down on the ground, nevertheless.

Sunil was taken to the hospital right away, but he passed away from his wounds shortly after. The police have two of the juveniles in custody and have filed a murder case against them. One is still at large, though.
