A man identified as Shekhar Tirkey was killed and three others were injured in a knife attack following a dispute over a vegetable roll order at a fast-food stall in Adityapur, a suburb of Jamshedpur, Jharkhand.

The incident took place around 1 a.m. on Tuesday at Khau Gali, located in front of the AIDA Gate.

Police have detained three youths, including the stall operator, in connection with the incident.

According to information, Shekhar Tirkey, a resident of Mango, had come to Adityapur to work on the lighting arrangements at the Shiv Mandir Durga Puja Committee’s pandal. At around 1 a.m. he went with his associate Golu to a fast-food stall near the AIDA Gate to eat a vegetable roll.

A heated argument broke out between Shekhar and the shopkeeper over the order. The dispute soon escalated, and the two sides began fighting. Shekhar and Golu then called other members of the Durga Puja committee to the spot.

After receiving the information, committee member Sunny arrived with his associates. The dispute allegedly escalated again, leading to a knife attack. Sunny, along with Sagar Jha and Arun Pandey, who had intervened to stop the fight, was also attacked with knives.

Shekhar Tirkey sustained serious injuries and later died. Sunny, Sagar Jha and Arun Pandey were also injured. All the injured were taken to Tata Main Hospital (TMH) for treatment.

On being informed of the incident, Seraikela Sub-Divisional Police Officer Abhinav Bhardwaj and Adityapur police station in-charge Anjani Kumar reached the spot with a police team.

After inspecting the scene, the police launched an investigation.

Three youths, including the stall operator, have been detained and are being questioned. SDPO Abhinav Bhardwaj said preliminary information suggested that the incident occurred during a minor dispute.

Further investigation is underway.

In a similar stabbing incident in Delhi, a man was allegedly stabbed to death by a group of assailants in southeast Kalindi Kunj area in a suspected revenge killing linked to a past rivalry in jail, police said. Three accused were arrested.

The deceased, Shahid Hussain, a resident of Abul Fazal Enclave-II in Shaheen Bagh, was taken to Apollo Hospital by Constable Avdesh of Kalindi Kunj police station. A medico-legal certificate issued at 5.32 p.m. by the hospital stated that Hussain had been brought dead.

The audio clip containing a threat to Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff will now be examined, as the investigators plan to match the voice sample against the ‘voice banks’ maintained by the Punjab and Delhi Police, officials said.

These databases contain voice recordings of members allegedly linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

Punjab, Delhi and Rajasthan Police have separate voice banks containing audio samples of the Bishnoi gang members. Similar verification was earlier carried out on audio clips linked to threats received by Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Rohit Shetty, Baba Siddique and others.

This time, investigators will examine the audio clip of Anil Pandit, which surfaced after the alleged attack threat against Tiger Shroff.

According to senior Mumbai Police sources, identifying the person behind an audio clip is a major challenge, as threats often arrive under different names and in different voices.

Delhi Police reportedly has a voice bank with over 200 voice samples connected to the Bishnoi gang, while Punjab and Rajasthan Police maintain similar databases.

Mumbai Police is also continuing to study the gang’s methods and activities, as the Bishnoi gang has increasingly come into focus in Maharashtra, particularly Mumbai, over the past two to three years.

Meanwhile, the Crime Branch’s Anti-Extortion Cell will produce the arrested accused in the Tiger Shroff firing case before the Esplanade Court at 3 p.m.

According to sources, the accused in the firing incident had arrived in Mumbai about a month ago and allegedly conducted a recce of the homes of several prominent Bollywood celebrities.

The accused would ask auto-rickshaw drivers, whom they hired to travel around Mumbai, to take them to the residences of Bollywood stars. They allegedly claimed that they wanted to photograph the celebrities’ homes.

Meanwhile, the accused allegedly discarded both weapons at an unidentified location while fleeing Mumbai after the attack. The Mumbai Police are now attempting to trace and recover the firearms.

According to police sources, the attackers used two pistols during the incident, one foreign-made and the other domestically manufactured. However, they reportedly had limited information about which of the two weapons was foreign-made.

Investigators are continuing their efforts to locate the discarded firearms as part of the probe into the firing incident.

The Mumbai Crime Branch is investigating the case to establish the roles of the accused and determine the full extent of the conspiracy.

The Cyber Police Station of Delhi North-East district has arrested two men for their involvement in a cyber-fraud case involving a reported loss of Rs 22.50 lakh. Four mobile phones were seized from the accused, police said on Wednesday.

The case was registered under FIR No. 0011/2026, dated April 29, under Section 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), at the Cyber Police Station in the North-East district, following a complaint by Amit Kumar.

According to the complaint, the victim was induced to invest money through an online platform called ‘E-Seller Store’ by individuals operating through a Facebook profile under the name ‘Naha Sharma’. On the pretext of online investments and promised financial returns, the complainant transferred money on multiple occasions, suffering a reported loss of Rs 22.50 lakh.

During the investigation, police analysed the transaction trail and found that a bank account in the name of Raj Kumar had received Rs 1 lakh of the suspected proceeds of the cyber-fraud.

Acting on technical Intelligence and investigative leads, the police traced and arrested Raj Kumar, 34, a resident of Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, on October 17. One mobile phone was seized from his possession.

During interrogation, Raj Kumar disclosed that he had opened the bank account at the request of his brother-in-law, Vipin Kumar, in exchange for Rs 15,000. He further revealed that he had handed over the ATM card, bank kit, related documents and registered mobile connection associated with the account to Vipin.

Based on the information obtained during the investigation and subsequent technical analysis, the police team traced and arrested Vipin Kumar, 29, also a resident of Mathura, from Tappal in Uttar Pradesh on October 18. Three mobile phones were recovered from his possession.

During interrogation, Vipin disclosed that he had obtained the bank account from Raj Kumar and subsequently handed over the account-related banking instruments to another person. He also admitted to procuring and supplying other bank accounts in exchange for money and commission.

Police said both accused had no previous criminal involvement on record.

A total of four mobile phones were seized during the operation. Further investigation is underway to establish the wider network involved in the alleged fraud, identify other suspects and trace the remaining proceeds of the crime.
