Kalyan: In a shocking incident in Kalyan, a 19-year-old woman named Saniya Sayyed lost her life following a brutal assault by her neighbors over a dispute regarding money for alcohol.

The incident occurred in the Indiranagar area of Kalyan, where Gulam Sheikh approached Nisar Sayyed, a local vegetable vendor, on Monday night, demanding money for alcohol. When Nisar refused to give him money, a heated argument ensued. Gulam Sheikh, along with his son and friends Shoaib, Ajiz, and Shahid, then forcibly entered Nisar's home and attacked him.
