Mumbai: The JJ Marg police has not arrested, Shaukat Ali, a mutton distributor, for killing a 55-year-old man. Ali, who tried to kill himself, too, after the murder is recuperating at the JJ Hospital.
Now, the police are planning to book him for attempt to commit suicide as well.
On October 20, Ali killed Jameel Qureshi with a knife around 4.15 pm at the latter’s shop in Surti Mohalla, near JJ junction. Locals caught Ali trying to flee the scene. “There were no injuries on Ali’s body while he was trying to flee. But in a span of 15 minutes, he stabbed himself in his abdomen and his intestines were severely damaged. There were some cut marks on his chest as well,” said a police officer.
“The knife has been seized. The chemical analysis report will show if the knife contained the blood of both Ali and Qureshi,” said the officer. Ali, who was admitted to the ICU in a critical condition on that day, has been shifted to a general ward. “Ali is still in the hospital and will soon be arrested,” the police said. Qureshi, a resident of Nauspora in Bandra, is survived by a wife and seven children. The motive of the murder is yet to be established.
