Man beaten to death in Mumbai road rage incident, nine arrested
Mumbai: A 28-year-old man, identified as Akash Maeen, was beaten to death following a road rage incident in Malad, Mumbai, on Saturday. The incident occurred near Pushpa Park when an autorickshaw collided with Maeen's vehicle while overtaking. Maeen, a worker for the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, was accompanied by his parents at the time.
Following the collision, an argument broke out between Maeen and the auto driver, who soon fled the scene. However, a crowd gathered in support of the driver and attacked Maeen. A video of the incident shows Maeen being assaulted by a group of men, while his father struggled to intervene and his mother tried to protect him by covering his body.
Maeen suffered serious injuries from the attack and was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. The Dindoshi Police, relying on CCTV footage, arrested six individuals on Sunday and three more on Monday. All nine suspects have been charged under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for murder and other related offences. They will remain in police custody until October 22.
