A conflict erupted between these vendors and a Shiva Nagar resident near the station about two weeks ago, resulting in mutual complaints lodged at Mills Colony Police Station. Nazeer had attempted to mediate between the conflicting parties and resolve the issue.

The situation escalated on Tuesday night when Nazeer once again engaged with the vendors. This reportedly led to a heated argument during which one of the vendors struck Nazeer on the head with a rod, killing him on the spot. The accused fled the spot.

Nazeer is survived by his wife and four daughters. The Mills Colony police have initiated an investigation, with Nazeer’s body sent for autospy to the MGM Hospital.
