India, Aug. 27 -- A 24-year-old man was brutally assaulted and killed by six men in Nalasopara, after he sent a message on Instagram to one of the assaulters' girlfriend with an intention of befriending her. He died while being treated at a hospital on Monday, where he was taken after suffering serious injuries. On Tuesday evening, Tulinj police arrested the six alleged assaulters.

The victim Pratik Waghe, a resident of Saikrupa Society, Jijai Nagar in Nalasopara East, has been messaging a 21-year-old woman in his neighbourhood on whom he has had a crush, for the last few days, said police. The woman, however, was disinterested and complained to her boyfriend, identified as Bhushan Patil, about Waghe's advances.
