Police have registered a case against three people who allegedly beat to death a 49-year-old man after an argument in Thane district of Maharashtra state, an official said on Tuesday.
The incident took place at around 1 am on Monday when the victim accidentally pushed the accused in Vitalwadi district of Olhashnagara, while he was walking by mistake. Citing a complaint filed by the victim’s son, the official said the accused got angry and severely beat the man.
On Monday morning, the victim’s son received a phone call from his father stating that some people had beaten him while he was in the hospital.
The complainant then took his father to a government hospital in Ulhasnagar, but since the victim was suffering from breathing problems, he was urgently shifted to a government-run hospital in Kalwa district. Since there was no oxygen bed available there, the victim was taken to KEM Hospital in nearby Mumbai where he vomited and was later pronounced dead by doctors, according to FIR.
The victim’s son then filed a police complaint against the three accused.
Police said one of the deceased’s acquaintances told his son that he witnessed the three accused severely beating the victim. Based on the complaint, the police early Tuesday morning registered a case against the three accused under Indian Penal Code Sections 302 (intentional homicide) and 34 (common intent), the official said.
He said that no one has been arrested so far, adding that the case is being investigated.
