Shocking Noida Meat Shop Murder: Man Stabbed to Death Over Minor Argument
A seemingly routine visit to a Noida meat shop turned fatal for Shahzad, a 35-year-old father of three when an argument spiraled into a violent confrontation.
Shahzad, originally from Meerut, was fatally stabbed by Amarjeet Mahato after a dispute over a towel outside a Sector 117 meat shop.
The tragic incident unfolded on a quiet Thursday afternoon, leaving the community in shock.
A Minor Argument Turns Deadly
The altercation began when Shahzad asked another customer, Mahato, to lend him a towel he was wearing.
The seemingly trivial request led to a heated argument, culminating in Mahato grabbing a butcher’s knife from the counter and stabbing Shahzad in the stomach.
Witnesses described the horrifying scene as Shahzad fled the shop, clutching his bleeding stomach, only to be chased down and stabbed multiple times at a nearby intersection.
Killer Calmly Resumes Normalcy
In a chilling twist, after killing Shahzad, Mahato returned to the shop, collected his meat order, and walked away as if nothing had happened.
The shop owner, Gulzar, fled the scene immediately after the incident. Shahzad’s body was later retrieved by police and sent for an autopsy.
Police Capture the Accused After Firefight
Following frantic calls from witnesses, police launched a manhunt for Mahato, tracing him to a jungle near Sector 117. When confronted, Mahato opened fire, prompting a brief exchange.
He was subdued after being shot in the leg and taken to a hospital for treatment. Authorities recovered the murder weapon, a pistol, and ammunition during his capture.
A Devastated Family Left Behind
Shahzad’s wife, Salma, a cook, now faces the grim reality of raising their three children alone. Shahzad, who had recently lost his job as a driver, was actively seeking new employment at the time of his death.
This shocking incident has raised questions about community safety and highlights the senseless violence that can erupt over minor disputes.
The police investigation continues, with authorities analyzing CCTV footage from nearby shops to piece together the events leading to Shahzad’s untimely death.
