In yet another shocking incident, a 41-year-old man was stabbed to death by his acquaintance in Maharashtra’s Thane on Friday evening. The incident took place at Khar subway after the victim, identified as Parvez Bashir Sheikh, had an argument with the accused, named Akeel Sayyed, for harassing his wife. The police arrested the accused on Saturday.

The reports state that Sayyed, a resident of Golibar Nagar in Santacruz, was friends with Sheikh’s wife, Shahjahan. Pradeep More, Senior Inspector of Vakola Police Station, said Sayyed and Shahjahan were in the same college and since then he has been harassing her. He further stated that while Shahjahan married Sheikh, Sayyed also got married, but he continued to harass her and wanted to marry her.

According to the report in the Indian Express, Sayyed has been after Shahjahan to marry him. Shahjahan has always refused to marry him as she was already married to Sheikh. Earlier, Sayyed had also threatened Shahjahan to kill her husband if she didn’t marry him, but she ignored his threats.

The police in this matter said that before meeting at Khar subway to finally end the matter, Sayyed and Sheikh had also confronted each other in the past when they had a huge fight. The official said that Sheikh wanted to put an end to this, which is why he called Sayyed again. A verbal altercation broke out between the two during the meeting, and Sayyed then stabbed him three times before fleeing, said an official.

Sheikh was immediately rushed to the hospital by the locals, where he died. The case has been registered with the Vakola Police.

A case of murder has been filed at the behest of Shahjahan, Sheikh’s wife. The police then started an investigation and tracked down Sayyed in Bandra. The police later arrested him.
