According to the police, Danish was acquainted with a girl in their college which the juvenile did not like and warned Danish several times. However, Danish continued with the friendship.
Angered over it, the juvenile along with his friends planned to kill Danish and on June 22, he called Danish to discuss the issue near the railway tracks at Allapur. “When Danish arrived, the juvenile and nine of his associates, who were all under the influence of drugs, attacked Danish. The juvenile hit Danish on his head with a beer bottle following which he collapsed,” said an official of Allapur police station.
