NOIDA: A 26-year-old man died of a fatal blow to the head during a brawl outside a CNG pump in Noida that began with an argument over whose car would be refuelled first.
Two persons were arrested on Tuesday and their car and a blood-smeared stick were recovered.
Aman Kasana, who was accompanied by his cousin Abhishek, got involved in a spat with Ajay, who too was waiting at the fuel station in Kheda Chauganpur in his car around 10.30 pm on Monday. The cars were refuelled but the brawl didn't end. Ajay called his associates, Ankush and Rishabh, to the gas station. The trio stopped Aman before he could leave the fuel pump and beat him up.
CNG station brawl: Accused identified from CCTV cameras During the fight, Aman was hit on the head with a stick and became unconscious.
He was taken to a nearby hospital by Abhishek but was referred to another hospital, but he died on the way. The autopsy report is awaited.
Addl DCP (Central Noida) Hirdesh Katheriya said Aman helped his uncle in his property business. On Tuesday, his family submitted a complaint against three men, who were subsequently identified from CCTV footage obtained from the fuel pump.
"Ajay and Rishabh were arrested for murder (IPC section 302) from their homes at Khairpur Gurjar village and Khera Chauganpur, respectively, on Tuesday. Ankush is absconding," Katheriya said. Ajay is a school bus driver and Rishabh a B Pharma student.
Police have impounded Ajay's WagonR and recovered a bloodstained stick that was possibly used in the crime.
Last week, the Noida police had booked AAP's Okhla MLA Amanatullah Khan, his son and two others for assaulting and threatening staffers of a petrol pump in the city for reportedly trying to jump the queue to refuel their car.
