Pune: Fatal Construction Site Dispute on Sinhagad Road: Worker Killed in Siporex Brick Assault
Sinhagad Road, 13th March 2024: In an incident at a construction site in Nanded City on Sinhagad Road, a construction worker lost his life after being struck on the head with a Siphorex Brick. The assailant, also a construction worker, escaped the scene.
The incident occurred on Monday (11th March) afternoon and seems to have originated from an ongoing dispute between the victim, identified as Pintu Gautam Das (28), a current resident of the construction site originally from West Bengal, and the accused, Ejaz ul Muhammad Hasib Alam, a native of Bihar.
Pintu’s brother, Chhotu Gautam Das (23), who works as a business labourer and resides in Wanowrie, filed a complaint at Sinhagad Road Police Station. The police report states that a disagreement between the deceased and the accused had transpired on Sunday (10th March), escalating on the following day. Fueled by anger, Ejaz allegedly struck Pintu on the head with a brick while both were on the 5th floor of Chandrakant Dedge’s building, where the accused was working. The severe injury proved fatal, leading to Pintu’s untimely demise.
A murder case has been registered against Ejaz ul Muhammad Hasib Alam at the Sinhagad Road Police Station. The authorities are actively investigating the matter.
