Argument leads to murder
A person stabbed Mayur Panchal outside Royal Smoke Hookah parlour on Sunday, after a brawl broke out between two groups. Though he was immediately rushed to Cooper Hospital, he succumbed to his injuries during treatment. Panchal, who worked as a salesman at a Powai mall, had gone to the parlour along with six to seven friends around 4 am. While they were dancing, he accidentally bumped into a man from another group, which led to a heated argument between the two groups
