A 34-year-old car dealer was stabbed to death by a biker in Ghatkopar on Sunday afternoon, May 25. Both got into a heated argument over overtaking. The incident took place on the service road along the Eastern Express Highway.
The victim was identified as Zeeshan Rafique Shaikh. He was travelling with a friend in a four-wheeler and was heading to Kurla between 2:00 pm and 3:30 pm.
When the car reached near a chowki under the EEH flyover, Shaikh and a passerby biker argued over overtaking. Both had stopped their vehicles, and soon the fight became physical.
Shaikh got out of his car. The biker then pulled out a knife and stabbed Shaikh in the left side of his chest. He was with a woman who was seated behind him on an Activa scooter. After the stabbing, the biker fled from the spot.
Shaikh’s friend called the police. He rushed Shaikh to a nearby hospital, but doctors declared him dead on arrival. Shaikh lived in Park Site, Vikhroli, and is survived by his wife, parents, and two children.
Pant Nagar police filed a murder case against the unknown biker. Multiple police teams from Zone Seven have been formed to trace him. Officials are checking CCTV footage from the area near the crime scene. They are also scanning cameras in Sion and Chembur, as the accused may have escaped in that direction.
