Deceased Azhar Ali alias Pappu, 44, who worked as an auto driver was grievously injured when he was attacked by the accused Kallu and his family members on May 30. He died during treatment at a private hospital, said a senior police officer.
Accused Kallu and his brother Munna have been arrested. An FIR was registered under Section 307 (attempt to murder) at Pandav Nagar police station after attack on Pappu and it has now been converted into murder case after his death, said the officer.
The incident took a serious turn as their family members joined in and Kallu allegedly threatened Pappu of dire consequences, police added.
Kallu and his brothers Munna and Suleman allegedly carrying knives and iron rods reached Pappu's house at Jawahar Muhalla in Shashi Garden and challenged him to come out, the officer said.
Pappu who was having dinner went out and was attacked with a knife allegedly by Kallu, sustaining injuries on his head and abdomen, his uncle Mujid said in police complaint.
