On December 9, 2024, a shocking incident took place at an under-construction building near Ram Mandir in Bhatlem, Panaji, Goa. Nazir Mulla, a 45-year-old contractor, reported that his laborer, known only as Mr. John, was tragically murdered.
The accused, Arvind Tiwari, 38, from Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, allegedly murdered Mr. John, 48, by slashing his neck with a sharp weapon following a quarrel over food sharing. The dispute led to the fatal attack.
Tiwari was arrested within two hours of the incident at Yog Sethu, Panaji. A case has been registered under Section 103 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023. Authorities continue to investigate the motives behind the quarrel.
