A man was killed in broad daylight in Maharashtra’s Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar on Thursday after a car rammed into his scooter, and he was beaten on the head and face with a hockey stick and an iron rod. The attack took place near Bajrang Chowk in the N-7 area of CIDCO, a busy part of the city.
The victim, Devesh alias Bunty Dixit, was returning from the gym when the incident took place. According to the details reported from the spot, Pawan Parashar hit Dixit’s scooter from behind with his car. The impact threw Dixit onto the road. Parashar then attacked him with a hockey stick and an iron rod, striking him on the head and face. Dixit died at the spot.
After the attack, Parashar went to the CIDCO police station. Police have seized the car used in the incident. The iron rod used in the assault was also reported to have been seized.
Parashar is to be produced before a court today. The court proceedings are expected to mark the next step in the case as the police investigation continues.
Police have declined to comment on the motive for the killing, other aspects of the case and the further legal proceedings. Therefore, several details about the circumstances leading up to the attack remain unclear.
DISPUTE ANGLE EMERGES
Dixit ran a mess and was also involved in the plotting business. Preliminary information suggests that he and Parashar had been involved in a dispute for some time.
An old rivalry and a possible business dispute are among the potential motives being considered in connection with the killing. However, the precise nature of the dispute and whether it directly led to Thursday’s attack have not been established. The motive therefore remains unconfirmed.
The circumstances leading to the confrontation, along with the sequence of events and the evidence seized by police, will be important to establishing what happened before the attack and what led to Dixit’s death.
