An NCP leader belonging to the Ajit Pawar faction was hacked to death by three unidentified men in Mumbai late last night, said the police on Saturday. Sachin Kurmi, who held the position of taluka president in the party, was attacked when he had gone out for a night stroll in Byculla around 12:30 am.
Cops reached the incident site and found Kurmi in an injured state and took him to the nearby JJ Hospital, where the doctors declared him dead.
The three attackers came on a two-wheeler and attacked Kurmi multiple times with a sharp weapon, police sources said. They were seen fleeing on the two-wheeler in a CCTV footage.
The police have registered a case and formed eight teams to probe the case. The victim's body has been sent for post-mortem.
