At least seven persons, including a woman, have been arrested in connection with the murder of a man who was shot dead in the Dharavi area of central Mumbai, police said.

Investigations have revealed that the victim, Amir Anis Khan, was shot dead to establish the dominance of the gang 'K Company' in the Dharavi area, an official said. Two men allegedly fired eight rounds on Khan while he was answering nature's call in Dharavi on the morning of February 12, he said. Khan was murdered due to his rivalry with another local gang, which was trying to establish its dominance in the area, the official said.
