Criminal hacked to death over old enmity in Pune

PUNE: Three men on Saturday were detained by the Hadapsar police on the charge of hacking to death a 21-year-old man with past criminal records near Bhekrainagar on Saswad Road on Friday night.
Police have identified the deceased as Shoaib Shaikh (20) from Hadapsar.
Police said Shaikh and two others were riding on a motorcycle on Friday night when the suspects travelling in a car hit his vehicle from the behind.“The impact of the collision made Shaikh fall on the road. He soon realised who was in the car and took to the heels on spotting the trio,” assistant inspector Dilip Gade from Hadapsar police said.
“The trio then chased Shaikh and caught him near the lane of a private hospital and hacked him to death. They fled the spot after the incident,” Gade said.
The officer said the suspects have been monitoring Shaikh ever since he was released on a bail in 2018.
“Prima facie probe revealed that Shaikh and the suspects were friends but had a fallout in 2018 after the deceased assaulted them. Shaikh was then arrested in a case of attempted murder but was later released on bail,” the officer added.
