MUMBAI, NOV 7: Samajwadi Party activist and social worker Mohammed Issaq Ansari was shot dead by four unidentified gunmen here today when he was asleep behind the compound wall of a textile mill.
Police sources said 35-year old Ansari, who resided in a chawl at Agripada in South-Central Mumbai, left his house early this morning as he was unable to sleep due to the noisy preparations being made for a wedding ceremony nearby. He found a secluded spot behind the compound wall of the Khatau Mill and went to sleep.
Around 6 am, Ansari's father spotted four men alighting from a taxi and moving towards the compound wall. He then heard some shots and at first mistook it for a tyre burst unaware that his own son had been sprayed with bullets. Police have arrested one Sharamad Baig Ali Kallu in this connection.
