UP Man Shakir Killed by Minor Friend Over Mobile Phone Dispute: Cops

Meerut: A man was allegedly killed by his friend over a mobile phone dispute in Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut. The accused, who is a minor, has been detained by the police.

According to a police officer, both Shakir and the accused were addicted to alcohol. The argument over the mobile phone escalated while they were drinking, resulting in Shakir’s unfortunate demise. The police have registered a case, and the accused is currently in police custody.

A similar incident was reported in Delhi, where a man murdered his friend over a Rs 1,000 mobile phone in the Sangam Vihar area. After committing the crime, the accused fled from the scene. The police have filed a case and are currently searching for the suspect, who is on the run. The victim, identified as 35-year-old Ramsevak from Shahjahanpur in Uttar Pradesh, lost his life in this tragic incident.

The deceased used to share a room with a friend in Sangam Vihar. A few days ago, he had borrowed his friend’s mobile phone, with a promise to return it. However, an argument broke out between them on Tuesday morning during their alcohol-fueled drinking session. The argument turned violent when the friend attacked the deceased multiple times on the head with a brick before fleeing.

The next day, the landlord informed the police, who sent the victim’s body for post-mortem. The police are currently conducting raids in various places in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh to search for the accused, but they have no leads yet.

The family of the deceased expressed shock at how a friend could resort to murder over a mere thousand rupees mobile phone. This incident highlights the dangers of alcohol addiction and the need to resolve disputes peacefully. The police are determined to bring the accused to justice and ensure that such incidents are not repeated in the future.
