One of the men had reportedly accused Kumar called ‘Duxie’ and ‘Firelink’ of stepping on his toes and attacked him before at least six others joined in to batter him with broken beer bottles and a knife, relatives said. He died at the Woodlands Hospital at about 2:45 yesterday morning. No one has been arrested in connection with the murder.
