Shahzad, a 35-year-old Meerut native living in Noida, was stabbed to death in Uttar Pradesh's Noida.
In Uttar Pradesh's Noida, a man's routine trip to buy meat on a quiet Thursday afternoon took a shocking turn as he was stabbed to death outside a shop. Shahzad, a 35-year-old Meerut native living in Noida, and an unidentified customer had arrived at the shop owned by Gulzar. As the two awaited service, a seemingly benign argument over a towel spiralled into a deadly confrontation.
As Shahzad asked the unknown man to lend him a towel he wore, the request provoked the accused, leading to a heated exchange. Eyewitnesses describe how, in the midst of rising tempers, the attacker suddenly seized a butcher's knife lying on the counter, of the Sector 117 meatshop. Without hesitation, he plunged it into Shahzad's stomach, cutting it open which sent Shahzad staggering from the shop.
Holding his bleeding stomach, Shahzad ran approximately 40 metres to a nearby intersection. His desperate plea for help, as he collapsed onto a culvert, went unanswered. The accused continued his pursuit, stabbing Shahzad several more times until he collapsed, dead. The killer, as though unaffected, returned calmly to the meat shop, picked up his order and walked away.
