Two days after a 41-year-old police informer Wasiullah Mohsin Shaikh alias Rasgulla was beaten to death by a group of six scrap dealers for leaking information related to a theft case in Nashik, three people have been arrested. While Wasiullah had died on the spot, his brother Abdul Shaikh and friend Shamsuddin Doha Shah, who were also assaulted, are undergoing treatment at Cooper Hospital and are said to be in a critical condition.
Brutal assault
According to MIDC police, Wasiullah had informed an officer from Dahisar police station that Sohrab, an accused in a theft case, was present in Andheri area. When Sohrab got to know about it, he asked Wasiullah to meet him over some snacks at a godown in Bhangarwadi, MIDC-Andheri. Sensing trouble, the deceased took his brother and friend along with him.
