Neighbour stabs 24-yr-old to death when confronted about obscene messages
MUMBAI, Feb. 28 -- A 24-year-old was stabbed to death in the early hours of Friday in Hanuman Nagar, Nalasopara West, when he confronted his neighbour for posting obscene and abusive comments on his wife's WhatsApp status.

The duo began arguing and Aftab told Mehndi not to contact his wife, whether that be via messages or calls. The argument escalated and turned violent and Mehndi eventually picked up a knife from his kitchen and stabbed Aftab several times in his stomach.
Hearing Aftab's cries, Shabana rushed next door to find her husband wounded and lying in a pool of blood. He was rushed to a nearby hospital but due to the severity of his wounds, he was declared dead on arrival.
The police said that Mehndi, a habitual offender who had earlier been held in a POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) case too, has been arrested.
