Cricket match ends in murder

EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE

NASHIK, DEC 8: An argument over a `no-ball' made two cricket teams abandon every rule in the book as rival members bludgeoned to death 25 year-old Imanulla Mohammed Yusuf in Malegaon town on Sunday.

Seven youths have been arrested.

The argument soon gave way to fisticuffs. Stumps and cricket bats were used to attack Yusuf. The fight broke out during a match between the Mansura College cricket team and the Morning Star Club. Yusuf was taken to Wadia Hospital, shifted to Dhule Hospital and finally to Nashik, where he died yesterday.
