Overview

• Malvani police detained Farooque Sheikh and Awez/Owais Shaikh and hospitalised one under guard after linking them to the fatal stabbing of cab driver Sahil Gujjar.
• Investigators registered a murder case naming five to six alleged members of the ‘313’ or Teen Sai Terah parking gang.
• Police attribute the killing to a dispute over refuelling the cab; family members and witnesses counter that Gujjar was stabbed while trying to stop an assault by mafia enforcers.
• Residents accuse the ‘313’ gang of longstanding extortion and harassment around Malwani parking areas and criticize police crackdowns as short-lived.
• Police continue to review CCTV footage, question witnesses and conduct raids to track down additional suspects in the ongoing investigation.
