A 19-year-old man was allegedly stabbed to death by his friend following a dispute near the Faisalnagar area of Danilimda in Ahmedabad, police said on Tuesday.

According to the complaint registered at the Danilimda Police Station, the deceased has been identified as Aman Khan, a resident of Indira Nagar in Sarkhej.

The complaint was filed by the victim’s father, Israr Nathu Khan Pathan, 45, who stated that his son had left home on the morning of May 18 with his friend Arbaaz alias Bhabhi Aminbhai Maniyar, a resident of New Faisalnagar in Danilimda.

Pathan, who works as a trader and also drives a goods vehicle, told police that Arbaaz had visited their residence around 10 am and left with Aman after breakfast. However, when Aman did not return home by night, the family repeatedly tried contacting Arbaaz on his mobile phone, but the calls allegedly went unanswered.
