A 17-year-old boy was allegedly murdered by a gang of 13 aged between 17 and 22 years in Mumbai on Tuesday night.

According to the police, the victim Ansh M. Agarwal was returning to the home and his 13 friends, who waylaid in Saki Naka of Andheri East brutally attacked Agarwal with iron rods, sticks and even cement bricks. His was found lying by pedestrians in a pool of blood after the accused disappeared from the scene. The injured Agarwal was rushed to the hospital and the doctors declared him dead.

The police said that the remaining accused would be hiding somewhere in the vicinity and they would be arrested soon.

People are shocked on hearing the news. Whatever might be the reason, the law should not be taken into hands, opined locals. (Phani)
