A casual request to step aside during visarjan at Dadar chowpatty on Thursday night ended in the murder of an 18-year-old boy. Jagdish Kadam, a resident of Mankhurd, had come with his mandal for the immersion of the Durga idol. He was grievously injured after a boy attacked him with a broken beer bottle.

Jagdish succumbed to injuries during the wee hours of Friday. The Shivaji Park police have registered a case of murder against three people and have arrested two of them.
