Man Beaten to Death Over Goat Waste Dispute in Mumbai
A 55-year-old man named Mohammad Iqbal Sheikh was sadly beaten to death in Mumbai.
This happened because of a fight with his neighbors, the Qureshi brothers, over goat waste.
The brothers had a goat that they kept outside their house, and after some repairs were done to a drain between their houses, the goat waste started piling up in front of the Sheikh family's door.
Despite repeated requests to clean it, the brothers refused.
On December 22, a big argument turned into a physical fight.
The brothers attacked Mohammad Iqbal with a belt buckle, causing serious injuries.
