by ShravyaIn a terrifying incident in western India’s Maharashtra, a 19-year-old youth was fatally attacked by his friend over a dispute about cooking arrangements.
The incident took place in Pimpri Chinchwad district on November 2.
Visuals showed the scene as staff members, including the victim, were sleeping; only the accused remained awake. Moments later, he grabbed an iron rod and began violently hitting the sleeping youth’s head. In shock, nearby workers awoke to the brutal attack, with one frozen in fear while another tried to intervene.
According to reports, the Pimpri police have apprehended Mukesh Hira Kuswah, who has been charged with the murder of Dipu Kumar. Both Kuswah and Kumar, along with three other young men, were employed at a company in Chinchwad, where they also resided. Kumar, who joined the company two months ago due to his family’s financial difficulties, got into an argument with Kuswah over cooking arrangements. Later, at around 1 a.m., Kuswah acted on his simmering anger, repeatedly striking Kumar’s head with an iron rod in a sudden and brutal outburst.
