A 27-year-old man was allegedly shot dead by his friend at Reti Bunder in Sewree on Wednesday. The deceased, according to the police, has a criminal background. The victim was first shot twice and was later stabbed till he died at the spot. No arrests have been made in the case so far. The police suspect that murder was fallout of enmity.

The deceased has been identified as Sushant Ghodekar, a resident of Cotton Green. According to the police, the incident occurred around 11.30pm. As per Ghodekar's family, the former had received a phone call from his friend Atul some time before the incident and later he was killed at Reti Bunder.

"Ghodekar, who was unemployed, was first shot twice near his abdomen and later stabbed several times on his head, chest, on the wrists. He was later left abandoned to die by his attackers. We have recovered two empty cartridges from the spot. We believe more than one person were involved in the murder," said police sub-inspector RB Deshmukh of Sewree police station.

"Locals spotted Ghodekar's body and informed the police. The police then took Ghodekar's body to JJ hospital for the post-mortem. We have registered a case of murder against unknown persons, though Atul remains the prime suspect in the case as he is currently absconding. Ghodekar has a criminal background," said senior police inspector Sudhir Nawge of Sewree police station.

He added: "We have informed all our informers about the case and we believe that within few days we will able to arrest the accused. We suspect enmity and dispute could be the reason for murder, but probe is on from all possible angles."
