A man in Surat was allegedly stabbed to death with a knife during a parking dispute on Monday.

According to reports, when Shubhash Khatik went to meet his brother at his shop in Udhana on Monday evening, a parking dispute arose when he was unable to park his two-wheeler. Khatik had requested Niraj Gangasagar, who had parked his bike blocking his way, to adjust it and after that Khatik left to meet his brother.

After leaving briefly, Khatik returned to the parking lot, and another argument ensued between him and Gangasagar. The argument escalated, and Gangasagar allegedly attacked Khatik multiple times with a knife, ultimately causing his death.

Eyewitnesses in the parking lot apprehended the accused and handed him over to the police. They also rushed Khatik to the hospital, but he succumbed to his injuries.
