Residents of Ulhasnagar Camp 3 are living in fear after three murders in the past five days, which they say happened over petty issues. Locals allege that, without adequate law enforcement, local goons are openly roaming with sharp weapons. "In the past ten days, we’ve seen three murders. There’s complete lawlessness here, and the accused are freely roaming without fear of the law," said a local resident.

On October 28 a 47-year-old Rajesaheb Shaikh was allegedly killed by his friend, 24-year-old Afroz Mohammad Yakub Shaikh, over a minor dispute. According to the police, the two had met near Kajal Petroleum Pump when Afroz allegedly attacked Rajesaheb with a stone due to a disagreement over food. The FIR was filed the same day, and Afroz was arrested at his residence after confessing in a fit of rage.
