A 24-year man killed a 38-year-old relative in <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-crime-news/article/atm-error-in-mumbai-blame-it-on-haryana-23251684" rel="nofollow">Malad</a> on Sunday evening over a minor dispute.
The accused, identified as Imran Qureshi (24) is one-armed. According to reports, in 2018, he lost his left hand in a train accident. Despite being one-armed, he attacked Rafique Sayyed with a chopper multiple times, and tried to escape from the spot, but got caught by the police.
The incident occurred at the Gudia Pada SRA building today evening. The police caught Qureshi within hours after the incident.
According to the police sources, both the deceased and the accused are relatives who just shifted to the SRA building two months ago from Mahim.
Deceased Sayyed used to work as an electrician while Qureshi has been unemployed since his train accident.

During the inquiry, it has been revealed there was a common room in the same building where people used to play carrom and engage in activities. The accused and his friends used to smoke and drink in the room, and seeing this, Sayyed locked the common room. &ldquo;Keeping this incident in mind, Qureshi attacked Sayyed with a chopper when he was talking to a friend on the building premises,&rdquo; said an officer.
The incident was captured in a CCTV camera installed in the building. &ldquo;Looking at the footage, it seems like other people too were involved in the crime,&rdquo; the officer added.
&ldquo;We have caught the accused and he has confessed to the crime. The process of filing an FIR is underway. The body has been sent for post-mortem,&rdquo; he added.
