A heated argument between two neighbouring occupants in a Vasai dormitory, sparked by a trivial matter, escalated into a violent confrontation on Sunday afternoon. During the altercation, one of the individuals stabbed the other with a kitchen knife, puncturing his heart.

In a desperate attempt, the victim tried to extract the knife lodged in his chest, but all he managed to pull out was a plastic handle. The commotion drew the attention of a dormitory worker, who rushed to the scene and removed the knife but it was already too late.
