The killers had been tracking his movements for about 15 days, and then brutally murdered him. Zameer’s brother, who is also an autorickshaw driver, saw him in a pool of blood and immediately took him to a hospital, where he was declared dead. Family members have alleged that the Zameer’s friends might have killed him over financial issues or old feud.
