The three accused are Abdul Shaikh (22), Ibrahim Shaikh (23) and Wasim, also residents of sector II. According to the Malwani police, the trio were having liquor in a parked car, when they spotted a woman from their area, taking to the strangers at midnight. They questioned the girl about what was she doing chatting with men from a different area, when she refused to reply. Enraged, the men picked up a fight with Ansari and Shaikh.
The fight turned violent when one of the accused brandished a knife from his pocket and stabbed Ansari. Shaikh was also attacked during this tussel.

Hearing the woman's screams, locals gathered on the spot and rushed the injured a nearby hospital where Ansari was declared dead on arrival. "We have arrested Abdul and Ibrahim for murder, however Wasim got away. We have launched a manhunt for him and will arrest him soon," said VR Andhale, senior police inspector of Malwani police station.
