A young man, Karan alias Lucky Rajesh Naykar (18), was killed in a violent altercation involving four individuals near the Takia Ground behind Indian Gymkhana, Dhantoli, on January 14 night. The Dhantoli police have registered a case under various sections of the BNS.
According to the complaint by Karan’s elder brother Himanshu Naykar, Karan left home around 9:30 pm after dinner but didn’t return. Worried, Himanshu and a friend went searching and found him arguing with Yogesh Kowe at the ground. While they tried to mediate, four accused – Kunal Raut, Yogesh Kowe, Rupesh Waghade, and Kajal Raut – launched a violent assault. Kunal allegedly stabbed Karan, while the others attacked him with bricks, kicks, and punches.
Karan was rushed to a hospital by police but he was declared dead on arrival. Dhantoli Police are investigating further.
