A staffer of a Borivali-based hotel was brutally stabbed by an unidentified man for intervening when the accused was dragging out a customer at gunpoint. Police said the incident took place on Wednesday at around 7.30 am.

Two men posing as auto drivers went to the reception counter of Hotel Devine, situated near Borivali railway station. The duo told Naushad Buraniya, who was sitting at the counter, that they had brought a customer at night from whom they have to collect money.
