Aurangabad: Sensation prevailed in and around Sillod, after a trucker, suspecting that his wife is having an affair with his friend, killed the latter by hitting him with a steel rod, at Anand Park in Sillod on Thursday at 9.30 pm. The victim Farooq Khan Ibrahim Khan Pathan was a school teacher. The police have arrested three persons including the murderer and his wife.
Farooq (resident of Ambadasnagar) got introduced to the accused Shamdhan Bainade (45, Anand Park) through a common friend Uday alias Munna Kulkarni. Later on, Pathan and Bainade became good friends. On Thursday, Farooq went to Shamdhan’s house in his absence at 7 pm. Surprisingly, Shamdhan came to his home at 8.30 pm and found Farooq sitting in the house. He got angry. Thinking that Farooq is having illicit relations with his wife, the trucker brought a steel rod (tami) from his truck and hit him in the head. Farooq died on the spot. The accused after committing the crime fled away from the spot. In the meantime, Munna Kulkarni’s phone came to Farooq’s cellphone.
