Goons stab to death two supervisors at Santa Cruz construction site

In an audacious attack, two persons were killed at a construction site in busy Daulat Nagar area of Santa Cruz (W) on Wednesday evening. Police sources claimed that around ten persons visited the site and attacked three persons with choppers, killing two of them. The third person is still battling for his life. The police suspect the killings could be the fallout from a previous enmity. They have ruled out robbery as the motive as nothing was stolen from the site.

The deceased persons have been identified as Nadeem Khatri, a resident of Daulat Nagar, and Babu Kurla. Both worked as site supervisors of a builder.

According to the sources, the incident occurred between 6pm and 6.30 pm. "Around ten persons, having their faces covered and armed with choppers and firearms, entered the site office and attacked Khatri, Kurla and another person present there. Khatri and Kurla were stabbed more than 15 times each," said an officer from Santa Cruz police station, adding that the trio fled the spot after committing the murders.

The victims were rushed to a nearby hospital, where Khatri and Kurla were pronounced dead.

"Nothing was stolen from the spot. We have alerted our informers and are making all possible efforts to trace the culprits," said a police officer.
