The MHB police have arrested two people for allegedly killing a 30-year-old eunuch post a fight over their begging territory on Wednesday night. The incident took place near Sudhir Phadke flyover at SV Road, Borivli West.

Attacked with knife

According to the police, deceased Pradip alias Prachi was attacked with a knife by another eunuch identified as Payal Shinde and their friend Naresh Thapa over the territorial issue.

Cops rushed Prachi to the local government hospital where the on-duty doctor declared them brought dead.

The investigation claims that Prachi was spotted begging in the area over the past couple of days and it was opposed by the accused.

A similar incident happened on Wednesday night when the accused had a fight with Prachi over the issue and they attacked them leading to their death.

Later, some eunuchs assembled at the spot and blocked the road. A police officer said, "The accused have been booked under relevant sections of the IPC, including 302 (murder). They were produced before the court and remanded to police custody."
