Friday night proved unlucky for Datta Jaisingh Jhadav who was killed when he saw a Dharavi resident being murdered

Mumbai's largest slum turned into the location for a bizarre double murder on Friday night. The incident occurred at 12.30 am when Mohan Vitthal Shinde, a 25 year-old readymade garment shop owner was returning home.

While walking through a lane near Peela Bangla bus stop in Dharavi, Shinde saw a group of men fighting. In a bid to walk past, he brushed against one of them, inviting the fury of an already raging bunch. A verbal spat ended up in a brawl during which the men whipped out a sword and knife and attacked Shinde.

While Shinde slumped to the ground, Datta Jaisingh Jhadav, a 30 year-old passer by witnessed the attack. On realising that he was an eyewitness to the murder, the men attacked Jhadav with the same weapons, killing him on the spot.
